Securing a Legacy
Seventy-eight good years
when she went home many cried tears
of joy having left her mark in history
as a leader married to a leader
who believed in justice for all
after Dr. King passed on Coretta did what she could to cushion our fall
by being a woman who worked to make a nation whole
it was done with her heart mind soul
the klan deterred her not
this proven as time went by
through her dedication determination devotion her head held high
Mrs. King secured a legacy building her own
with her four children by her side
GOD our HEAVENLY FATHER welcomed her with arms opened wide
it was said "It's good to finally see her at peace"
believing this peace comes from above
on her tomb it ends with six words
"the greatest of these is love"
