She could be as still as a statue
But unapologetically vibrant
Even in her silence
She exudes confidence
Yet so humble
She runs her race with courage
Because she has a clear picture
Of where she is going
She knows who she is
And what she wants
She understands what her worth signifies
Extremely dignified
Many odds she defies
She has influence that no one denies
No matter where she goes, she prospers
She makes life so much better
Never doubts her own power
She whose face shines brighter
Such a paragon of splendour
That recognises God’s favour
Committed to excellence
Crowned with brilliance
Clothed by abundance
Cloaked in resilience
Conquers any turbulence
She is someone I look up to
A woman of virtue
