After the tragic death of 17 year old teen Trayvon Martin, Pastor John P. Kee felt compelled to write and sing a song in his memory. John writes the following words on his YouTube page. After reading be sure to check out the special song.
John P. Kee:
After hearing about the Trayvon Martin case my heart was saddened because of it’s senselessness! Many had concluded that it was a simple racial issue when in fact I believe it was
also a gun issue! For the last 5 years, I have worked tirelessly to take as many guns off the street as possible! We’ve not only been successful, to date we’ve removed more than the local law enforcement agencies. My passion for this comes from being able to witness the hundreds of young men of color killed daily on our streets. Many of these Homicides go without being solved! I was compelled to write something to encourage the many mothers and fathers that are left with painful wounds of loosing their children. What happens after the protesting, News coverage, Church gatherings and Press Conferences? Many times the parents are forgotten. They literally endure the spirit of loneliness for years! This melody was written to assure those that are still grieving, Their Love-ones lives were not in vain! it was also written to encourage parents to embrace and show love to their kids! I pray you enjoy and share this song, “It Could’ve Been My Son” – jpk
