A Legacy Honored

Title: A Legacy Honored

In hallowed halls, where justice dwells with might,
Former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor lies,
Her life’s work etched in marble, pure and white,
A beacon of integrity that never dies.

With wisdom she dispensed, like rarest gold,
In chambers where decisions held their weight,
She championed balance, fairness to uphold,
Her words resounding, demonstrating fate.

A trailblazer she was, a woman strong,
Defying odds, she broke through glass ceilings,
Her determination paved ways long,
For countless generations, new unveilings.

United by the gavel, bound by the law,
She weaved consensus from diverging views,
Enlightening the darkest corners, she saw,
The tapestry of justice she did infuse.

Today we pay our homage, filled with grace,
To O’Connor’s profound and lasting mark,
Her legacy lives on, embracing space,
In halls of justice, where shadows embark.

With gratitude, we bid our fond adieu,
To a remarkable jurist, now at rest,
May her ideals inspire and imbue,
Future seekers of truth, as justice’s zest.
