Remembering Birmingham

Four little girls dressed up for church as pretty as could be.
Four little girls show up to worship in the land of the free.
Four little girls bowed down in peace and closed their eyes in prayer
And when their eyes were opened they didn't have a care,
But here among the living the weeping, wailing faces
Mourned the loss of innocence and four dark, empty spaces.

We remember Birmingham and pray for those, who today, still feel the pain.

 

The date was September 15, 1963

But it is never too late to remember and always too soon to forget.
