POEMS

Empathetic, with grace in her stride,

Whose soft words, like music, would glide.

Though praise might surround,

No boast could be found,

Her selfless soul, a virtue, inside.

A woman of virtue so clear,

Whose wisdom and empathy steer.

With kind, helping hand,

She makes beauty expand,

And righteous prosperity's near.

A female so coy and so mild,

With calm in her heart, reconciled.

Selfless, she'd give,

So others could live,

A power divine, reconciled.

A woman's wisdom, soft and deep,

The seeds of kindness she would keep.

With thrifty hand,

She'd bless the land,

And through her art, sweet joy would leap.
