A Quiet Confidence

Among her sisters, she did not stand out;
For five of them were loud, and she was not.
But show – that isn’t what she’s all about:
A quiet confidence is what she’s got.

She’s smart – she know she is – but not big-headed,
For she’s worked hard to learn the things she knows;
She checks and double-checks – all facts are vetted –
She is a pro among all other pro’s.

Employers know that she can make them money,
So she commands a fair price of her own:
She’s careful, and she’s prudent, and she’s clever –
And by each idle wind, she isn’t blown —

Some say she’s sold her soul; I say, in fact,
She has one of the few
That’s still
Intact
