the very young, the very old, and the very lonely

 for she has compassion.

Blessed is she who greets the

world with joy,

laughter, and anticipations,

for she has courage.

Blessed is she who speaks gently,

lives humbly,

and chooses to give freely,

for she has dignity.

Blesses is she who listens and hears,

and extends her hand as a friend,

for she has understanding.

Blessed is she who gives simply,

loves deeply,

and walks joyfully in life,

for she has awareness.

Blessed is she who has

compassion and courage,

freedom and dignity,

 understanding, sincerity, and awareness,

for she is a woman, a gift, a blessing.
