I Poem March 7, 2009

Martin Luther King Jr.

 

I am brave and courageous.

I wonder if my children will be treated fairly one day.

I hear the stillness and togetherness of harmony.

I see little white children and black children walking hand in hand one day.

I want peace for my people.

I am brave and courageous.

 

I pretend I am a white dove flying away with peace.

I feel love when others say hate.

I touch the hands of other black Americans as we walk hand in hand for liberty.

I worry that I will not live to see my dream come true.

I cry for my people who have lost their lives during this battle.

I am brave and courageous.

 

I understand the wound that my people feel.

I say peace when others say war.

I dream my children one day will be judged for the content of their character not the color of their skin.

I try to minister to others with my big words.

I hope my words will be a stained glass window to the future.

I am a brave and courageous.
