Martin Luther King-A Great Man

Martin Luther King was a great man Asking all humans to relate to his plan Realizing all men are created the same This was his quest,not looking for fame In his lifetime great strides were made New ideas formed as old ideas fade Little did he care for his own well being Under seige often yet he was all-seeing Taking the heat for what he believed He was outspoken yet well received Equality his lifes work ,his dream for all men Readily gave that speech time and again King had a conscience and used it for good In the end we all knew for what he stood Now we honor his life on this day Great is his legacy for paving the way

Deb, if only he could read this great tribute you made to him, I am sure he would honor you with a tribute of his own. Excellence is the category this falls under. Blessings. Joy (Jew)

A beautiful dedication to one of God's angels.. I consider MLK, JFK, Ghandi and RFK some of his angels sent to bring change in our world, Deb. Enjoyed. Always, Annalise
