Lines, once hidden,
Have grown bolder now;
No way to hide them,
Can’t disavow.

Months of worry,
This illness claimed;
To live with this,
A horrid change.

Takes courage to fight,
The strange, unknown;
A weakness,
I must not condone.

Make time to rebuild,
No reason to preclude;
Dreams, tucked away,
Need be, pursued.

Not sure where I’ll land,
Nor at what stage;
But this much I know,
I have surely aged.

When I can longer find the courage to face the day

And the things I have been chosen for, go wrong

I hand it over to my Keeper, His love shines the way

With His most serene, and tranquil light, making me strong

Martin Luther King Jr., the man, who had a dream

Imagined that life could be beautiful, this is true

So, why is it, we cannot get along with one another?

Why is it our words are, so often, misconstrued?

 

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
