In works of her hands she excels.
A heart of compassion she turns to the needy;
In service to others, she gives of herself.
She will be called blessed by her sons and her daughters;
Precious to the Father are those who see his ways.
She will be called blessed, held above every other;
Blessed is the mother who turns to God in praise.
She rises each morning to see her household;
She looks toward the future with joy.
She teaches her children true lessons of kindness;
And shares with them wisdom the world can't destroy."
