A covenant woman

Henry B. Eyring

Henry B. Eyring


No man can lead a nation, or a fam'ly, or his own life,
without trustworthy, faithful, help from his own loving wife.
A man, for all his boasting and adventuring abroad,
is kept in line by covenants his wife has made with God.
I wish I had stayed married, so my helpmate pure and true
could help me in these lonely years my foibles to subdue. 
Oh women of the covenant, remember that we men
need you like like good chili needs a seasoning of cayenne.
