Sojourner's Elegy

In memory of Sojourner Truth, a woman of strength, Whose indomitable spirit knew no length, I pen this elegy, a heartfelt tribute, To honor her life and the battles she pursued.

Oh, Sojourner Truth, a beacon in the night, You shone with a radiance so pure and bright, Born into the bonds of slavery's chains, You rose above, defying all constraints.

Your voice, like thunder, echoed through the land, Demanding justice with an unwavering hand, With words that stirred hearts and minds alike; you fought for freedom, never fearing the strike.

Oh, Sojourner Truth, a warrior of light, You championed causes with unwavering might; from suffrage to abolition, you stood tall, A voice for the voiceless, inspiring all.

In the hallowed halls of women's rights, You spoke with conviction; your words took flight, and You proclaimed, "Ain't I a woman?" with genuine grace, Challenging prejudices, leaving a lasting trace.

Oh, Sojourner Truth, a symbol of resilience, You endured hardships with unwavering brilliance; from pain and sorrow, you emerged so strong, A testament to the spirit that can't go wrong.

Your legacy lives on in the annals of time, A trailblazer whose spirit continues to climb, Injustice may linger, but your words remain, A beacon of hope, a perpetual flame.

Oh, Sojourner Truth, your journey is completed. May your soul find solace, eternal and sweet, In the realm of freedom, where angels abide; rest now, dear Sojourner, forever by their side.

Though you may be gone, your spirit prevails; in the hearts of those who follow in your trails, Your legacy of courage will forever endure, Sojourner Truth, a legend, forever pure.
