"the most beautiful of all woman-rights"

The right to serve and to love,

The right to sympathize,

The right to nurse the infant tenderly -- to guide, teach and warn,

The right to be awake when all are sound asleep,

The right to bring light to darkness,

The right to bear with patient love the burdens and cares of others,

The right to believe firmly and to remain faithful, when fearful doubts surge,

The right to forgive without number,

In a word -- the right to be entirely woman, full tender, good and true --

That is the most beautiful of all woman-rights!

~Author Unknown (found in Women Before God, published 1961

Dear Lord, with all my heart I thank you for making me a woman.  Amen.
