IF A MAN

Written by Linda Diane Gaddis

A TRIBUTE TO DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, Jr.

If a man is so inclined to live right,

          Let him be afforded the opportunity to do so.

If a man chooses to walk in the path of righteousness,

          Throw not obstacles in his way so that he might stumble and fall.

If a man wishes to love his neighbor, with no other motive than to love his neighbor;

          Allow him this privilege, afford him this pleasure.

If a man is so determined to bring harmony and unity to a people who have become so divide by thoughts and time;

          Offer him your condolences, give him your support.

And…

If a man should die, trying to bring about a change,

          Show others by your actions that his living was not in vain!
