A Tribute To Dr King

I have a dream But Dr King Had a vision He lived it out Made great decisions He had a dream And he made it a reality Paved the way for you and me He had a dream That one day that we would be more than what others display He had a dream That we had won And one day we should overcome Overcome the obstacles That life throws And our voice matters That way we shouldnt hold Back our great ideas That we should do more than exist We should live He had a dream that our skin color shouldn't matter And still til this day People judge us by it and that makes it sadder He had a dream that little girls and boys could play And not be brought up on the word hate He had a dream That we could be Anything we desired Inspired Is what he did Made sure we would be equal Made sure we had rights Made sure we weren't in a dark place But we would see the light He did alot but never stopped the fight He fought for us to his last breath He didn't just think of himself Watching Little boy king When we were small Living out the dream through it all We owe our gratitude To such a great man Had a great plan And lived it If he had anything He would give it A great father a friend a husband and so much more A name that we will always adore A civil rights leader an achiever A believer On this day we celebrate your birth Yes we do I wouldnt have it any other way this is my tribute to you Happy Birthday Written by Concetta Hardnett 1/15/2019
