“Waiting to Honor”



“Waiting to Honor”

1/19/15

 

A friend from the past

greatness in his bearing

humor and warmth within

able to see beyond color

perceiving one’s potential

honored or abused today

reason for time off some

parades – celebrations

yet do they remember

as his insights attacked

refuting who he was

making it racial today

thus waiting to honor

my friend in gratitude

his sacrifices for us

as a nation to unite

greatness in his smile

my friend Martin today!
