He Had A Dream He had a Dream A promise for all in the land of Freedom This was Liberty's call He had a Dream to all it was spoken in a time of unrest many promises broken He had a Dream It was worthy to hear meant to change all not all would cheer He had a Dream A message unshaken in a moment of scheme a strong voice was taken He had a Dream come take my hand we all can share in the Promise Land. |

Wonderful poem and tribute, Danny! A dream of peace and brotherhood is truly a noble one!  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~ |

Danny- What a powerful tribute to the quest for peace, liberty and equal freedom for all. A dream of great magnitude he had. How greatly I admire anyone who has a vision and is willing to give his very life to stand for what he believes so deeply in. Thank you for sharing this with us. ~Marge Tindal~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

It's amazing what can be accomplished by one person who has a dream!! Well said! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

What a lovely tribute to Martin Luther King, I think that your poem reminds us all of that day!! Only after trying so hard to let go, did i realize how much i wanted to hold you forever> Amber and Ellis forever and always |

One must first have a dream in order to make a change, and what a dream it was. Thank you for the reminder Liz |

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. This world has too few heros. Regardless of skin color, I think everyone can admire a person who has a dream that has the purpose of improving the world for all mankind. |
