Thank you, Anna Omelchenko and dollarphotoclub.
We little children
Watched as you
Moved the world
Revealing the hidden
~
You were the fuel
Igniting my dreams
A lifetime dedication
Breaking unfair rule
~
To you it is that I owe
For this just passion
Feeling connection
Even with my “foes”
~
How do I express
My gratitude for
The sacrifices of all
With great tenderness
~
Your dream inspired
So many to unite
In this little girl
Her heart you fired
~~
We need you and your kind, Dr. Martin Luther King.

I find it sad all of our leaders are not as dedicated to the people as Dr. King was. Think of how great the World would be if that were the case …. no wars and equality across the board would probably prevail. And if a frog had wings ….
Yours is a truly lovely tribute to a decent man, and a true leader, Carol.
