Never forget that even the very beautiful, the very insightful, the very gifted... can be corrupt.

And goodness often dwells in the lowly.

My woman is one such person; I might characterize her as lowly, though she is beautiful, and I have succeeded lately more and more in making her see the ways in which she is strong...

She has eked out a quiet life against all odds. And on occasions like today, she does everything for me; and I feel like her beloved king.

I wasn't sure they made women like her anymore. Given a chance to grow she'll resemble the unforgettable spirits of the wives of my grandmothers' generation.
