Dare to dream.....

In 1963 Martin Luther King Jr., delivered a speech that even

today is regarded as one of the most stirring and uplifting speeches

ever spoken.

In front of a crowd of thousands of people he shared his

dream of a more equal society for all people:

''I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties

and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream.''

Some of us may say that we dream of equality,

justice for all and long-lasting liberty.

Some of us may say that we dream of freedom

to pursue the very things that gives life a reason.

Some of us may say that we dream of a society,

that honours ethical values and a robust morality.
Some of us may say that we dream there'll be a day
when guns and deadly weapons will all be put away.

Some of us may say that we dream of a humanity,

that values life and living much more than notoriety.
Some of us may say that we dream there'll come a time
when being poor and disenfranchised, no longer is a crime.

Some of us may say that we dream of more unity,
more peaceful interactions in pursuit of more congruity.
Some of us may say that we dream of a day,
when violence and anger no longer is the way.

Some may say you're all dreamers,
but we're not the only ones,
and we hope you'll one day join us,
and the world will be as one.

''Dreamers are mocked as impractical.
The truth is they are the most practical,
as their innovations lead to progress
and a better way of life for all of us.''
(Robin Sharma)
