"Woman"

Born not from the dust of the ground, as man.Created in the Image of God. Molded by the tender, intimate hands of the Almighty, Himself. Quickened by His Breath. Alive with soul. Uniquely created for relationship with Man and God.

The 'crown of creation' bestowed upon 'Woman' cannot be measured by gold or gems. Her value far outweighs the most precious of them. Her virtues cannot be purchased. Her beauty, unsurpassed even by the most delicate of roses, cannot be captured on canvas nor molded in marble. Though many a gifted artisan has tried.

Her moods ever-changing as the ocean's tide. Able to only be understood by the God who created her. Woman. Most beautiful. Most glorious. Most creative of God's imagination, has been given the privilege to bear life from life. Creating from within the confines of her own sphere. Strength of iron flowing in her veins allow her to conquer agony. Overcome the rending, ripping pain that grips her as she expels life from her loins.

'Woman,' carries the burden of comforting. Soothing the fallen men. 'Woman,' unceasingly strives for the answer to man's disease. Compelled to stand at the side of a loved one as they pass from this life, to the land of everlasting. She stands firm in her vigil, never wavering from her duty. Bears the burden of going on. Alone. Facing uncertainties with conviction she will survive.

'Woman,' wears kindness and charity as ribbons of honor.

'Woman,' is proof that God extends forgiveness to a world lost in confusion and darkness. A woman's lips can bestow healing peace. The smallest of woman's hands can hold the hope of tomorrow. For in her arms is the security for today.

'Woman's ' need for man is only surpassed by man's need of ' Woman.' Without her, his life is incomplete.

'Woman,' initiates balance between the world and home. She establishes a haven of protection from the hurts and slings of this world. She brings Glory and Honor to the Lord she loves. 'Woman,' blessed, is smiled upon. Carrying His message of Truth. To witness of His Sacrifice. To love the unlovable. To embrace the unwanted.

Built within the deep substance of 'Woman' is a desire to overcome adversities. To always finish better than she began. To improve what sometimes appears to be desolate. A 'Woman' can bring order out of chaos. Build a home from a house.

A 'Woman' is able to take a scrap of material and make a dressing table cover. Or, take a dressing table cover and turn it into a 'scrap of a dress.' 'Woman' brings decoration to each environment she inhabits. Hand her a hundred rupees note and she can stretch it till it almost tears.

'Woman,' with a tender caress can make an ordinary person believe he is a 'king.' 'Woman' can be a Friend, a Lover, a Mate. She's a Daughter and a Sister. She's a Wife, Mother and Grandmother. All manner of persons in one lovely package. 'Woman,' - unique - no doubt about it, not another creation like her since the beginning of time. Created to meet life's needs. Created to overcome life's challenges.

Ah,Woman! What can be said of that which has already been proclaimed, 'Good,' by God Almighty, Himself!

A tribute to all the women from my side. Hats off to you!!!
