Happy birthday Dr. King

With the palm of your hand

You spread love across the land

Without stalling

You answered your calling

With all your might

You fought for what was right

You ignored naysayers

You said your prayers

The journey was long

But faith kept you strong

It was about a plan

For your fellow man

Without remorse

You stayed on course

Until the fateful day

You had to go away

There’s work to do

But God will carry us through

We miss your warm embrace

But we know you’re in a better place

What you left behind means everything

Happy birthday Dr. King
