Gwendolyn Brooks once wrote:
A man went forth with gifts.
He was a prose poem.
He was a tragic grace.
He was warm music.
He tried to heal the vivid volcanoes.
His ashes are
rending
the wind.
Let us remember, my friends, that we have tender saplings yet to plant. Saplings of hope. Saplings of caring. Saplings of love.
If we are truly to honor memory of Dr. King, we must plant these saplings at once. For hope can be the fastest growing plant of all. And faith the most resilient. And love can overtake a wilderness, and make it bloom and flower again.
But these trees of life will not grow at all unless we plant them.
And his memory will not be redeemed unless we live his Dream, every day of our lives. So may it be. Amen.
