KEEP READINGFavored is she who relies on God.
She trusts without full understanding.
She expects His will to triumph.
Confident is she who knows the Lord.
We have put you on a pedestal,
scattered petals at your marble feet.
Entombed now in stone,
once their warm flesh danced in Cana
Education polishes gems
Even diamonds can be polished
by knowledge liberally applied
Your life will be my life, and my life yours.
Your son will be my son, his Father my Father.
