Tribute To An Orphan
Exuding faith fortitude midst gracious beauty
Asserting, "If I perish, I perish*"
Saving her kindred against wicked annihilation
Setting aside comfort for others' welfare
Beseeching help and mercy from Almighty
For truth prevalence she did cherish
Withstanding persecution brought by racial discrimination...
Praise God for Queen Esther's care.
*Esther 4:16 “…If I perish, I perish." (King James Bible)
