Ruby Bridges, a beacon of grace,
In the halls of courage, she found her place.
Tiny steps echoed, a brave melody,
Defying the chains of bigotry.
Six years old, yet strength profound,
Through racial storms, she stood her ground.
A symbol of hope, in innocence dressed,
For equality's cause, she faced the test.
Amidst hatred's whispers and prejudice cold,
Ruby's spirit, a story untold.
She walked to learn, a journey sublime,
Injustice challenged by a child in her prime.
Bridges of change, her name would become,
A legacy rising, like the morning sun.
In history's tapestry, her thread is spun,
Ruby, a symbol of battles won.
This blog contains simple, thought provoking and deeply reflective poetry written by American poet, Doris Trueheart. Here is a large expanse of her poems covering a myriad of topics reflecting her heart.
