MY DREAM


(on the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr.)

I have a dream that life will one day be
the marvel that it truly is, that love
will rise triumphant, and a joyous spree
of kindness will begin to dance above

the burial ground of hate. I have a dream
that clouds of sorrow will become the clear
and open skies of comfort, and a gleam
of goodness will be there to shine and cheer

up our disheartened world, and yes, I have
a dream that wisdom will become the salve

to spread on fear, and gentleness will fast
become the force that frees us all at last,
thank God almighty, frees us all at last.
