A Woman Blessed
“And she was fair as is the rose in May.” –Geoffrey Chaucer
Sunshine glows on fair skin
Lights her face with joy- for though
Life has dealt her countless blows
She rises above the noise
Weathering sunshine or rain
She inherited the strength of a woman blessed
With grace to carry on regardless of her pain
