With Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Day being next week on Jan 15, 2007 and Memphis being my hometown, where his life on earth ended, I was inspired this morning to write this poem...
Waking to another beautiful Day
Easy like Sunday Morning
With sunrise and it’s glory
The Lord is my shepherd…
He leadeth me beside the still waters
Along the banks of a Mississippi riverboat
The whistle of a, Proud Mary!
I my beloved Memphis…
Grandeur of many greats,
Our sweet brother Martin
Came for the sanitation workers
His spirit will forever live on…
Awaiting another mindset
Of a freedom we know exist
Beyond any shackle
Then, Feelings can smile…
Knowing another waking
Easy like Sunday Morning
Can be easy everyday
For his children everywhere…
