A Poem
Adapted from Proverbs 31 in the Holy Bible
by Danita Whyte with my Papa, (Daniel Whyte III)
Who can find a virtuous girl?
For her price is far above sugar and spice and all that is nice.
The heart of her parents doeth safely trust in her because she has never lied to them.
She will be obedient and not disobedient all the days of her life.
She seeketh thread and a needle and learns to sew, and she learns to cook and bake as well.
She loves to do things for her family, and helps her little brothers and sisters.
She shares her cinnamon rolls with her little sister.
She gets her allowance and spends it wisely, and makes sure she gives some to the Lord.
She goes exercising with her family, and strengthens her body.
She makes sure she does her best in school, and always finishes her homework before she goes to bed.
She goes with her family, and helps the poor and needy.
She is not afraid of the snow because she has learned how to make warm clothes.
She also makes herself beautiful clothes; her clothing is good and soft.
She welcomes her dad home when he comes in from work.
She makes fine clothes and gives it to the poor and homeless.
Happiness and praise are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to come.
She opens her mouth with wise things to say, and in her tongue is a kind word.
She looks beautiful no matter what, and tries not to do anything bad.
Her parents rise up and praise her,
And her brothers and sisters love her.
When she gets married her daughters will
be virtuous too, and she will excel in all she does.
Foolishness is bad, and beauty is vain, but a girl that loves the Lord she shall be praised.
Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates.
