The Beauty of a Woman

For Lindsey Glasier, as she turns 21...

The beauty of a woman

Is not in the way she combs her hair

But in the gentle care she gives to a friend

When life is too much to bear

The beauty of a woman

Is not in the clothing that she adorns

But in a humble heart of compassion

That mourns with those who mourn

The beauty of a woman

Is not in the color of her eyes

But in the worship that she expresses

To the Lord who holds her life

The beauty of a woman

Is not in the shape of her physique

But in the way she loves her neighbors

The poor, the needy, the weak

The beauty of a woman

Comes out of her heart for the Lord

When His light shines in her life

And in heaven her treasure is stored
