People of New York City applaud
Heaven’s honor
Former Mayor David Dinkins, a name to remember
Your work is complete and you can slumber
Honor with pride
Heaven’s prepared her for the journey ride
I remember meeting the honorary Mayor Dinkins when I was in my twenties
I was walking down West 50th Street and 6th Avenue in Rockefeller Center
As I got closer to 1285-6th Avenue, I discovered Mayor David Dinkins
He was getting out of his limousine in front of 1285-6th Avenue, and I paused as he walked passed me, Mayor Dinkins said Hello, and shook my hand, and went on into the building
I knew then, Mayor Dinkins was about people
Mayor Dinkins will always be a remembrance for me because of his stance of issues and actions in resolutions for all New Yorkers
You lived your life abundantly
You conquered uncertainty into possibilities
Your own revelation being realities
Mayor Dinkins personality had dialog
He was the first Black Mayor
His responsibilities was achievements being efforts
Mayor Dinkins was a believer in making right
Opposition always wanted to challenge in making a battle fight
But you stood the course
You were a man who had force
Heaven saw it was time
Essence fulfilled into gold
Your legacy still lives and will always be told
Heaven has your name in a secrete place
Your name in stone
Courage and Pride in having an open heart with a determined spirit
Achievement that followed being your own merit
Sleep in peace
Your job well done
Until we meet again
PIP, Peace in Paradise
