A Moral Force of Women

A moral force of women
Works as an influence for good.
To help the work of Heaven,
And exemplify womanhood.

What is it women can possess
That sets them apart from men?
The intuitive way they impress
The need for goodness within.

A virtuous woman's strength
Is greatly needed today;
To instill courage and faith
That our covenants we obey.

As trends and forces more combine
And the conscience of many dims;
Satan works hard to undermine
Society's definitions for sins.

So more than ever we need
Women who will help the rising youth;
By example to then lead
Them to high places to never move.
