In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, January 17, 2000. The Dream He had a dream for all of us To see with eyes colorblind But too soon the voice silenced Though the thread still entwined Hands joined in brotherhood Shedding tears with tolerance A life given to end the pain Of denied independence Celebrate the birth today Of Martin Luther King Close your eyes to bigotry And let freedom ring.

AMEN May that dream become a reality! Great poem, Sharon, with such a great message! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

And in the air his voice resonated then too quickly it was gone Oh my Son, although the words elaborated, only in the air will the words ring on. Beautiful job, Sharon, thanks! Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

A very fitting tribute. I so often think, on the internet, only the truth of ones heart makes them different from another and that's as it ought be everywhere. Thanks for reminding us to carry on the dream. |
