I see traces of sorrow and laughter around her eyes mouth
She has a look of knowledge that only experience could bring about
If you look at her you will say "boy has she aged"!
Well, yes indeed her-story is on every line in her face
She has suffered more times than she cares to admit
Trudging through life with an emotional backpack
Times when she wanted to just sit!
Problems weighing her down so much she had to frown
Wondering when the end of tribulation and strife will come
She has battled through more personal wars than the US Army
She sank more battle ships in her home than the US Navy
She was a prisoner of war in her own mind
Many a day she felt captivated and lost in space and time
As I look at her body, I feel set free
I love the the way she looks; more of what she used to be
She now cares more for her soul than her flesh you see.
She graduated from the class of "make believe"
Mistakes she made taught her lessons she cares not to repeat
Some lessons were harder than others
But she made it to the top of her class and graduated with honors
She can now say by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB she is an "over-comer"
Now she can honestly leave a great legacy of HOPE
She will say to all who care to receive, love yourself no matter how you look
Just hold on to the Word of God and believe the GOOD BOOK.
When in DOUBT give Jesus Christ a SHOUT!
He will not let you down
So there is no need to carry a frown
