There Was A Man Who Had A Dream
There Was A Man Who Had A Dream. There was a man who had a dream that there would be a day when men would live in harmony and for this dream he did pray. He dreamt that man would not be judged by the colour of his skin, for every man is an equal soul to God and every man is kin. And so this blessed man gave the silent, proud man at last a choice, allowing him the pride of his heritage, giving him back his stolen voice. So the walls of ignorance began to shake and crumble at his powerful tone, every man began to taste liberty, allowed a deserved life and home. But so cruelly was his life by another man taken away. Lord, did you weep for the evil and ignorance on that terrible day? But his legacy lives on and we pray that it never dies. For every man is beautiful… the same, and precious in God’s eyes.

I have been writing poetry for several years, initially in reponse to friends in times of bereavement and those facing illness. I have tried to extend my subject matter as you will see, but initially wrote my poems to offer comfort and support. Thank...
