Reverend Beulah Durrheim, Kirstenhof
I’d like to introduce you to someone
She may have been hidden behind a gentle mist
But as the sun rays melt away the misconceptions of her
You will stand in awe, struck by a dazzling sight…
Standing before you is…
A woman of unfathomable worth.
She looks to the Sun and gathers her strength
She soaks up the rain and washes away fears
She stands resolute in the wind, more sure of herself
She listens to the thunder and awakens her true self
She touches the dew drop and lets gentle healing in
She howls to the moon and discovers her voice
She runs through the leaves and rediscovers the child
She jumps into the waves and acknowledges her own ocean
She picks the fruits of the vine and tastes her own sweetness
She stands on a mountaintop high and celebrates her worth
She tenderly cups a flower and finds that it mirrors her own beauty
She dances in the stream singing songs of freedom
She is a woman of unfathomable worth
She is unstoppable
She rises above the storm
She reaches for the highest star
She is a mystery still to be discovered
She is not to be underestimated
She is one of a kind
So when you have the privilege of spending a moment in time with her
Catch a glimpse of her unquenchable spirit
You will find yourself unable to breathe,
mesmerized by her gaze
Whatever you do, don’t blink,
Give her the appreciation and respect she deserves
Because standing before you is
A woman of unfathomable worth!
