Dare to Live
A Poem in memory of Dr. King
I'm not gonna belittle
I'm not gonna undermine
I dare to live
I'm not gonna just try
I'm not gonna complain
I dare to live
With hope in my heart
Faith besides me
I am unafraid
I am strong
With love assurance
And patience
I am capable
I am able
And if life be lost
If times get rough
I dare to dream
I dare to dream
Yes I dare to dream
Because life means nothing
You cannot live
Unless you are determined to dare
Even dare to dream
Because that's dare to live
