Miss Martha Douglas

Martha Douglas encountered several needles in her remarkable yet troubled life.

One needle brought anguish while another brought relief
One brought pleasure while another disbelief
One needle eased suffering amid the horrors of war
The final needle brought contentment on a far off shore.

In an era of discrimination bold acts of the day
Swayed the thoughts of many that never went away
Today equality is for everyone with no exemption
Martha broke the mould, resulting from much tension.
