A Woman of Valor
By Eric S. Kingston
Dedicated to all the women who showed me what true strength is.
A woman of valor makes the world change
Her strength is the content that guides through the days
Defined by her actions that bring light to all dreams
Valor is something that’s defined by her deeds.
Her valor is golden, sparkled and gray
She stands up to the challenge no matter the way
It can’t be held back or defined by her age
Yes, a woman of valor makes the world change.
For valor’s not held by the young or the old
But by the deeds of the heart that give and unfold
It’s merit and honor that hold no disguise
Like the creation of being in the blessed Holy One’s eyes.
For valor is the color of the song of her soul
As she changes, creates and turns light into gold
Divine is Her Presence, be it joyous or sad
— A Woman of Valor —
May offer little, but it will be all that she has.
For only her heart will know the depths of her soul
That nurtures and blossom and forever unfolds
And holds in its essence new life and new gain
Yes,
A woman of valor makes the world change
A woman of valor makes the world change
A woman of valor makes the world change.
Be the change, readers, be the change. Make waves in this world, and to my female readers: you are all Women of Valor.
Shabbat shalom and to my readers here in the States: a safe and wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.

Absolutely beautiful. It gave me chills.
So BEAUTIFUL!! My Sister actually gave me a copy of this same print when I was in HS. I've always loved it. But reading this poem makes the print that much more meaningful. Thank you for being you! You have caused so much change Thank you!!! And thank you for giving us the courage to find the voice within to make a change!! Have a very safe and Happy Memorial Day
As a hybrid between an honorary jew and an atheist, I find this to be so beautiful. Thank you.
