Chance Meeting

she knows her physical beauty is only a shell determined to leave a legacy behind when she dies
daily she fights so her flesh meets demise she's much much more than meets the eyes
she's a real prize but she's not one to be won or fought over
she's a lover of many things but none greater than Jehovah
and any man that is to love her must love Him more than he loves to love her
she sees what she wants and she goes after it her vision is superb
although she has been hurt in the past her walls are not incredibly high and vast
she knows what is acceptable and what is not tolerable because she's in that Word
checking scripture on every sermon heard
diligent and driven she is every man's wife description
but she never places herself on a pedestal she knows her propensity to fall from the perch
this woman lives her life knowing that God is able to take all of her hurts
the pain in her past that would have crippled the average woman she smiles
and with her ever graceful style
attributes her ability to the cross and the work on the tree
she sees the reality is that it could easily have been me
caught up in earthquakes famine and disease
yet God saw fit to spare me
she knows she lives each day by new grace and new mercy
and she finds great joy in passionately working
working to expose truths to those shrouded in darkness
working to give hearts of flesh to those who have become cold and heartless
she does all that she does to glorify the Lord because she knows how to serve
and for that reason she never gets unnerved
by what goes on around her within her world
she just reaches out to touch and teach she realizes growth makes women out of girls
and she just wishes that they realize their potential is only as limited as they make it
for those who don't realize this her heart is breaking
she's devoted to developing herself and others
she's just a lover
she loves humanity but hates all the depravity
poetically she flies free
I stop as I gaze at her body of work and it blows my mind
because she is a breath sent from the Divine
