She’s worth far more than a goldmine Her husband’s heart trusts in her And he shall lack no treasure She’s good to him, never does no wrong Everyday her whole life long She searches for only the best And buys goods above the rest Like a sailing ship is she Bringing food from across the sea While it’s still night she’ll rise from bed Makes sure her whole household gets fed Envisions what she wants to do Then works to make her dreams come true She’s courageous and she’s strong Her home is active all day long No matter if it’s day or night She makes sure that all is right Her hands creating works of art A labor of love straight from her heart Spreads a palm to the poor man And to the needy she lends her hand She has no fear of winter snows Her family’s dressed in the warmest clothes She’s there for him and all he does Engulfs her family with love At the gates her husband’s a well known man Who sits with the elders of the land She starts a business by herself Her products all fly off the shelf Dressed with strength and dignity And she does it all happily She opens her mouth with wisdom And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue Her home knows not of any stress And not an ounce of laziness Her children rise and make her proud Her husband praises her out loud Many daughters rise to the call But she’s risen above them all Grace is false, beauty’s a phase Let the woman who fears G-d be praised Her work has earned her all she needs She’ll be praised at the gates by her own deeds If not for her, where would we be? There’d be no home, no family… Zoniacs - now raise your glass To the Eishes Chayil’s holy task
