Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
in the Year 2008



 

NEVER GIVE UP!

Often things don’t work out your way
And the only thing you can do is believe and pray.
Dr. King taught us that we should be treated equally,
So live your life to the fullest eternally.

Keep the Dream Alive,

Don’t let it die,
It’s something deep inside,
 And it keeps inspiring you to try.
So don’t give up,
No, Never give up.

The Unspoken Dream 

He was a father 
He was a husband
He was a son

Now after so many years
He IS so much more
 

He IS a hero
He IS all young people’s Inspiration
He IS our hope
He IS our life
He IS our dream

But most importantly

WE are his unspoken Dream
 

The dream he thinks about All the time
The dream that gives him Joy
The dream that gave him Hope
When he needed it
The dream that will never Ever die

 

The unspoken dream
That is so powerful

That just thinking about it

Makes you gasp for breath
The dream that all parents Have

 

So known and popular is This dream that ………………………

 It still remains …. UNSPOKEN
