she is a goddess in flesh and blood
one whose beauty brings joy to the heart
whose smiles kills pains
and her presence brings relief
she is a goddess yet mortal
dark or white in skin color yet pure at heart
strong enough for all weather
but soft and pleasurable to behold
she is the calabash of her man's strength
the kitchen is her shrine
her matrimonial bed is her healing zone
and her man is her pride
she is a guardian angel
one who covers the flaws of her man,
cleans the mess of her children
and smiles with the little she gets
