Life's Journey

Some Glad morning when this life is over. I will fly away. Who can find a Virtuous Woman? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts in her, so that he will have no lack of gain. Strength and honour are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to come. she openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
