36 years
can’t count the tears
which fall before
your life of labor
the youngest child
so brave and mild
a family
of grace and beauty
you couldn’t turn your heart away
from feeling someone else’s pain
a heart so strong
a life not long enough
you gave your life
for others’ rights
and now you’ve won
a silent freedom
you couldn’t turn your eyes away
from hardships others have to face
a heart so strong
a life not long enough
you heard a call
to rise and follow
the road unpaved,
forgotten way,
a sign of grace
you couldn’t turn your head away
from all the troubles others face
a heart so strong
a life not long enough
you lived so much
for truth you sought
left not in vain
but to make change
you’d never turn yourself away
from helping someone else feel safe
a heart so strong
a life not long enough, not long enough…
you may be gone
never forgotten
I just loved that kid .
