Racism Is Not An Excuse

Wherever I Am When You Feel Sick At Heart And Weary Of Life, Or When You Stumble And Fall And Don’t Know If You Can Get Up Again, Think Of Me. I Will Be Watching And Smiling And Cheering You On.

I May Not Be Walking With You All The Way, Or Even Much Of The Way, As I Walk With You Now.

I Have Become Convinced That We Blacks Spend Too Much Time On The Playing Field And Too Little Time In Libraries.

I Have Always Drawn Strength From Being Close To Home.

When We Were Together, I Loved You Deeply And You Gave Me So Much Happiness I Can Never Repay You.
