This came to me as I was reading and reviewing Nordette Adams' "Coretta Scott King: Quiet Strength." I wish I had had the words to say...but you covered that for me. For that, I thank you.
I really wanted to write a tribute that would be remembered as great poetry, but didn't have the words to say ... you said all that needed to be said more powerfully, more beautifully, more succinctly than I ever could have. You honored the memory of the one we lost with grace and dignity; they will linger in the heart, because of what you said; they will never be forgotten, thanks to you - you have touched me today with the words I wish I'd said.
Hey lady lights, how great it is! Your own computer! So good to see you free to post at will! Hooray! This is a splendid write Karla!Welcome to full time addiction;-)All the best with your new toy!
Thank you for this, Karla, you both encourage me and humble me, as you are an outstanding poet. It would not hurt any of us to study Coretta Scott King's life. ~~Nordette
Power reigns in your words, and you stated your feelings beautifully! You may not be able to say what you wanted to say, but I think you said it all in this glowing poem! BRAVA!!

A great tribute for a great woman, the wife of a great man...and I saw this posted now and thought, "boy, is the library open this late?" Then remembered the new computer...have fun and surf to your hearts content...Ed & Rufuz

While I never became a cowboy, considering everything I have done
