Saadia: The Story

When her story is being told

Only poems must its details hold

As the pages of her book unfold

All the readers young and old

Will see a diamond edged in gold.

She lived a life that was never cold

Full of vigour and actions so bold

Refusing to fit in any pre-set mould

Rejecting to do ‘orders’ she is told

Or live to meet some earthly code.

The end was sudden but with pride,

No buried bones will this story hide.
