USPS Stamps Poetry Contest

To have your picture on the face of a stamp, Is a honor reserved for the ones who cultivated change Among the mèlange of inspiring faces, Lays the face of someone who served on the basis, Of freedom Behind a small black and white picture, A mighty face lays With eyes of a fighter, eloquent hair, neatly parted The words, Black white Trust danger Defiance hope All line the bottom Words of hope, words of courage That picture is of a strong willed soul Oh what a wonderful life, one bloke stole Late at night, she deployed her clandestine runaway With peers, she warily walked, not knowing where she was destined Little did she know, She would make this trip many times again, not knowing what each bestowed Harsh winter nights, where the breeze grew as cold as coal, She walked, walked and walked Till’ days grew into the lines of a bole She is a freedom fighter She is a activist She is a mother She is a motivator She is Harriet Tubman Usps Stamps Poetry Contest - 07/04/25 Sponsor: Robert James Liguori
