Courage

I gasp for breath I couldn’t believe it was her. Amelia Boynton Robison accepting an award for ultimate braveness in Selma, Alabama She was and still is my idol She taught me to always love any race Power to the people and especially power to GOD Was her motto Bloody Sunday was the highlight of it all Thousands marched singing this little light of mine I’m going let it shine They had hope And most of all pride After all that’s happened over the years, racism, killing , families being taken away from one another you would think this would end; it hasn’t Amelia said we are the human race; whether you are black, white, and yellow or red we are ONE Power to the People and especially power to GOD Seeing her face light up accepting that award brought warmth to my heart Looking into her eyes I saw the hurt and pain she went through Marching across that bridge in Montgomery was the triumph This little light of mine I’m going to let it shine Power to the People and especially power to GOD
