Not an ordinary girl

She walked along a windy road
That so many before her trod
The Lord saw fit to bless her rich
With father, mother and sibling each
Yet she was not an ordinary girl

She had 2 eyes,2 ears, of course 2 lips
But not the sort to cause men's flips
Her hips were okay for a sashay
But I swear we'd seen better in SA
Yet she was not an ordinary girl

She was possessed of charm and wits
And once in a while caused laughing fits
Her brain was sharp, her heart was kind
But millions of her, easy to find
Yet she was not an ordinary girl

She worked as hard as the next man
Her ambition, part of a simple plan
Provide a home, the basic needs
Nothing very lofty about those deeds
Yet she was not an ordinary girl

As far as we see, there's no mystery
In this our dear girl's history
And so I ask, dear friend pray tell
What's so extraordinary, bout this damsel
That makes her not an ordinary girl

It's in the way she holds her head
It's in the way her laugh is heard
Observe her over brightened eyes
Notice her gait, oh! how she glides
She's definitely not an ordinary girl

One distinction indeed, does make her bold
In her heart solid gold, a secret of old
She's earned within her short lifespan
The love of an extraordinary man
Yes! she's definitely not an ordinary girl
