Martin's Dream
          MARTIN'S DREAM
    A QUALITY Of CHARACTER

"I HAVE A DREAM," we heard him say
A special dream for a future day
From a martyred man who looked within
To judge a man by his kind of sin
His dream was filled with such special care
It’s a dream for all mankind to share
Its not a thought for a single race
But a dream for all mankind to face
His dream was not when we'd all be free
But instead gave thought to quality
So remember this of Martin's thought
"Quality of character" was what he sought
He considered it the final test of race
On this planet Earth where we all share space
That if nothing else on this world we share
We should all have honour and truly care
That no one should judge by the "colour of skin"
But by the "quality of character" that lives within!!!
