A Virtous Wife Poem by KUTLWANO SONJI NOBLE ONE NKWE

A Virtous Wife

Rating: 5.0


Her worth is far above the four pillars of earth
her breath is her husband's snare
to trap life
she is dressed with glorious care
which leaves old chaps with envy
and the ladies stare
her husband finds his confidence in her
clothing him with trust

As long as she lives she does him good and never harm
each moment rises a cloud of true love from her arms
and calls forth all the wonders of her face
her saving grace that can repair any broken heart
her tongue is the law of kindness
out of her mouth comes sweet words that had made men diabetic
she never tire on what she is doing because loving is never hectic

Her husband is known in the gates where he sits with men of the land
praising him they all ask if their eyes were different
scrutinizing what they have they all say
fair ladies and well dressed youths around her shone
but every eye was fixed on her alone
on her breasts a sparkling necklace she wore
which monks might and adore
recalling her wedding's day

Eunuchs are known by desires which they can never fulfill
i can assure you she can make them whole again
she is a mine which you can find no gold, silver and steel
but amine where everything lost is regained
a credit she deserves
words of praise should be prepared as a banquet before her table
many daughters have done nobly but she surpass then all
so let a metaphor in a song in a poem be made as her stable

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Indeed a woman of virtue is her husband's highest glory. She is the woman who understands the intricacies of her husband's character and carefully caters to it. Any man who has won the love of such woman is blessed with the rarest gem. I like the articulation, insight and penning of the poem. A lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing and do keep it up. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
