The Women of the Bible Warren Sherwood Bennett

The Biblical Women God made through the ages, Encompasses both bad and good. Their role in uplifting and sifting the sages, Would help or destroy as they could. For knowledge to help or avoid God's commands, They would show just how needful they were. Their counterpart men, whom they served with remands, Kept the distance between him and her. How sparsely they're mentioned, -important are few, They're intelligence thought to be less. They're used and abused. -They're put down to pursue Having children and cleaning their mess. This satire of fire that has seared in man's soul, For the women God gave him to love, To nourish and cherish, to freshen, console, He'd be blest by his quest for Above. From Eve to New Testament helpers in Christ, God has shown this last vessel He's made, To be without doubt the preferred choice, enticed By His promise to love with His aid. This love God awarded to women to give, Is the first of its kind: human love.
