My Dears,
Let's have a courageous week in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King.
Love you.
Swimming to shore too frail to move.
Stepping towards light, when darkness abounds
Permitting a laugh amid no other sounds.
Confronting a beast no one should endure
It strikes with no warning, no reprieve and no cure.
Unveiling your heart in the face of despair.
Speaking the truth though it’s safer to lie.
Taking a stance, when integrity’s lost
Forcing what’s right in spite of the cost.
Maintaining a grace that softens the earth.
Passing with ease
As you air your last breath
A hero whose soul
Transcends life
and death.
