Today we celebrate MLK

I wish I could’ve walked with him back in the day

I wonder how he would feel about us all today

Would he be surprised how far we’ve come

Would he cheer our president like other nations

He was an inspiration to more than one ethnicity

His message was one without color for every baby

That’s why I stretch forth my hand in friendship

Let’s share together as if we are kindred spirits

Dr King like others today I salute you

Although I never met you, I know I miss you

You’re an example future generations should look to

Parents teach your kids his teachings to aspire to

One day well be judged by our character

Not by our color, until then look inside

Gather all of your strength and courage

To speak from the heart and encourage

That through his vision, we all can dream
