'She Would...     'She would rather light candles than curse the darkness. and her glow has warmed the world' So said Adlai Stevenson praising Eleanor Roosevelt In darkness hides the evil ways The devil taunts and makes you stray She lit her candle and realized her faith Fought for civil rights and the human race In a world still clinging to ignorance. 26 June 2008 By Frog First © 2008 Frog First (All rights reserved)
