I Love You Doctor King
Dr. Martin Luther King is one of my heroes, and a spiritual guide.
I feel he is giving me ideas from beyond the veil, and I pay attention
Our connection is real, and mystical. I knew this as a child.
I visited his church in Atlanta, Georgia and his sermons were piped in.
When I heard him, I began to cry. He has had a profound effect on me.
I remember watching him on TV as a child, and wondering why ….
Why everyone did not feel like he did.
Why some people wanted to bomb churches and kill children.
Why everyone did not want word peace?
Dr. King brought Gandhi’s teachings to our hemisphere.
He believed in doing the right thing, he was righteous.
He was faithful, and good. A marvelous man, charismatic too.
He led peaceful marches, always advocating unity, peace and love.
Maybe because he was a minister’s son.
Maybe because he was a minister.
Maybe because he was super intelligent.
But I think it was because God had his hands on his shoulders.
Leading him.
I will never forget the feelings that came over me that day.
In Dr. King’s childhood church, when I heard his voice again.
I was overcome with happiness. Pure joy. He was an angel.
On earth, and now he is one in heaven. Advocating peace.
Happy Birthday Dr. King, I love you!
