August 4, 1961
Once upon a time a baby was born in the humid month of August
In 1961 on day 4 he arrived to prepare to lead us
He would “Dream the Unachieved”!
He grew big but stayed "young and strong"
He is smart and as a lawyer helped fix the wrong
His wife is smart and his two daughters are kind
We love how they make us think with an open mind
"I CAN DO anything even when others are afraid
I will not quit until history is made!”
Who am I?
Dream the Unachieved
