Margret’s Best

Did not the Father sacrifice His Son

That the life of many be saved by One

Can not a mother in love proclaim

The freedom of her children all the same

Tenacity, perseverance, a destiny to keep

Chased like an animal, backs were beat

The road to freedom, was it self-defeat

Could Heaven and peace be the prize to keep

A cross, a knife, cold water you say

Is to great a price for freedom to pay

One for His sheep, wondered astray

The other’s, a mother’s bird's, Emancipation Day
