She never gave up or in. Absorbing the verbal offenses…the gin, she still went on…her candlelight evident, without and within. She performed her assignment so well, indeed! Thank you, Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Rest in Peace. Amen

Shall we not pause and recognize the…Candlelight…which did reside there… within our supreme court’s wall Her hand planted and faithfully watered trees with branches of justice that never faltered covering… women, but indeed …provided shade for all However, perhaps…her greatest feat was the scope of her entire life That pursued and dared to reach… to what was fair and what was right Hesitating not to climb destiny’s stair… she faced her trials…without sting of fear albeit… even this change of her residence…elicits no cower For she is asleep…with all laments mended and her Candlelight? not extinguished…not ended yet, now… it burns…in the Presence of God’s…peace and power Matt 5:14-16 copyright; jmsbell-9/24/2020

wondeful tribute

Reviewed by Ronald Hull

Reviewed on September 26, 2020

There is no better tribute that I could think of that this one you have written for a brilliant woman of steel resolve, who worked her entire life for justice and equality. And in the end, faced with terrible threats from uncaring sources, fighting another battle with cancer that she almost succeeded in overcoming, like she had so much discrimination and unfairness during her legal life.

The Supreme Court needs steady, intelligent and forward thinking like Ruth Ginsburg. Anything less will be a disservice to our country and our Constitution.
