(This pastor’s wife poem describes the role and pressures of this very important person)
She’s a Godly woman, she has such grace
Always a warm greeting, a smile on her face.
She’s always encouraging, she knows her place
She is – The Pastor’s Wife.
She has to always look just right.
Always on time, though the schedule’s tight
From early morning, ’til late at night
Always – The Pastor’s Wife.
She’s such a lady, everyone’s friend.
She serves with love from deep within.
All the rifts she tries to mend.
Oh she’s – The Pastor’s Wife.
She carries your burden, she prays for you.
Sometimes she cries the whole night through.
But you won’t know when she is feeling blue.
‘Cause she is – The Pastor’s Wife.
At church as she starts to walk up the aisle.
So many need to stop and talk for a while.
Though she is tired, she has her own trials.
She’s patient, she’s – The Pastor’s Wife.
Her life, her time, is not her own.
There’s always a need, they go on and on.
With a knock at the door, or a ringing telephone.
That’s the life of – The Pastor’s Wife.
He husband, she share with a whole congregation.
She humbly accepts his intense dedication.
In loneliness he kneels to see consolation.
God bless- The Pastor’s Wife.
She will someday reach the end of this race.
As she meets her Master face to face.
Surely our God has a Special Place.
In Heaven for – The Pastor’s Wife.
