I was listening to NPR (my favorite radio station) earlier today and someone described receiving this text message from a friend.
Rosa sat so Martin could walk
Martin walked so Obama could run
Obama is running so our children can fly
Tears came to my eyes. Could we be on the precipice of the dream realized. Or is it someone worse nightmare. Race matter because so many fond hope for hte future in the promise in the possiblity that the country live up to its creed one nation under God with liberty and justice for all.
Years ago Tuck and Patti wrote in a song called tears of joy
I can see the trace that sorrow has left upon your face. An being relistic I know that here are some things that time cannot erase…. inside every tear that sorrow has left you tears of joy can take their place. Tears of joy, wash you clean, let them, set you free.
