                                              Martin Luther King
						King of Hearts
Beautiful Black Butterfly soaring through the sky!
Is that you, Martin, flying oh so high?
You are Free at last; you have climbed that mountain top.
You Have Overcome, for your Dream is still Alive!

Your dream lives in the Hearts of all of us!
I wear your kiss of Love upon my cheeks!
Winds still Whisper your name.  Oceans still weep your tears!
Happy Birthday, Martin!  Your Truth still marches on and on.

You were a Drum beater  for Justice, Freedom, and Peace.
You held the key that unlocked doors for the Human Race.
In the burning, bright hotness of summer days, your boycotts and bus freedom rides, paved freedom’s way!

Weary feet marched from Birmingham to Salem to Montgomery to Memphis.
Marchers of freedom attacked by dogs,fire hoses & tear gas.
Life threatened, children and wife beaten and bombed.
Struggle for Civil Rights, brotherhood & equality trudged on.

Martin Luther King, King of my Heart, you hide with the sunset behind the dark!
Ironically, you lived non-violently, but died so violently!

Yes you are dead, but you can’t be buried!
Sing your praise, everlasting love,
For your Dream lives in the HEARTS OF ALL MANKIND!

				 MARTIN LUTHER KING,
                                  KING OF HEARTS
