We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some day
.
Oh deep in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some day

("We shall overcome"-Pete Seeger arrangement)
*

Rosa strode forward
Her dignity prodding her
To quell apartheid

Her progress up the bus isle
Advanced all mankind forward
*
*
The light of this dark angel
will forever brighten my heart,
which thanks her from its bottom...
She carried the torch
up the bus isle for me,
Illuminating the path,
that for my whole life,
I have made pledge to follow...

Thank you for lighting it, Dearest Rosa.

Fine words to help keep her Light shining on!

God bless her! ~ God bless you.

Her life was not one without meaning and purpose. She left this world a better place than the one that she was born in to.

Love & Light,
Linda
