“A COURAGEOUS WOMEN”

“REUNITED WITH MARTIN”

The Master has called home to rest, His daughter Mrs. Coretta King.

To her co-servants in the Civil Rights Movement, she was a beautiful queen.

Wherever she went she was so elegant, she would enter with amazing grace.

She was a legend in her own right, now she has finished her race.

She has been running this race a very long time, for equal rights and peace,

She never looked down on anyone, the greatest or the least.

She carried on the legend of her deceased husband Martin.

She was a woman in her own rights; she didn’t have to beg anyone’s pardon.

Coretta reminded us that God’s purpose for her was to be Martin’s wife.

Being the wife of Martin has been her purpose to touch so many lives.

She said that, being the wife of a minister takes a special kind of woman.

Special she was, she helped everyone, and she said I’ll do it if I can.

When Martin Luther King Jr. left this earth, she picked up his gavel,

She fought for peace and freedom, all over this world she traveled.

Coretta stood up boldly, and she stood for whatever she thought was right.

She ran for the people, and she traveled both day and night.

She had four beautiful children, Yolanda, Dexter, martin, and Bernice.

Being a mother in the civil rights movement, she had to pray without cease.

Like Martin her husband, she had to sometimes leave her children home.

While she slept in so many hotel rooms, sometimes feeling so alone.

Now Coretta is in heaven with Martin, and she is as happy as she can be.

She can say to Martin “I made it” now my soul has been set free.

I tossed and turned a many nights, trying to follow your dream,

Martin I loved you so much, it was all that I had left of you it seemed.

You left so many memories behind, so we opened up the M.L.K. Center.

So the public could see your possessions, Martin you were their Mentor.

You and some special people, like Ralph Hosea and Rosa Park,

Are now sitting around in heaven, listening to David play his Harp.

While you was down here, you was dodging dogs, and water hoses.

Now you are walking the golden streets, with Abraham and Moses.

Down here you called on Ralph, Joseph, Andrew, Jesse and John, who were your special friends,.

Up there you can call on the Master whose world has no end.

Martin it is good to be reunited with my husband, my wonderful man.

I struggled with cancer, a stroke and a heart attack, now I am with you again.

I sat on the pulpit of Ebenezer, for the commemorative service each year,

I would say to myself if it wasn’t for you and Jesus, I wouldn’t be sitting here.

I knew that I had to give account for every deed that was done in this old body.

So I would pull myself together though in pain, trying to look healthy and hearty.

Martin I tried to do all that I could do, and then I would just stand.

I would say Father you have to lead me, and I wouldn’t let go of his hand.

The struggle had to go on, there was so much more work for me to do.

But Martin I am now free at last, and I am in heaven with you.
