Martin Luther King Jr
Peacemaker, lover, preacher, believer
He was a husband, a father to many, a leader to all African Americans and a friend to all
Lover of all people no matter what color, a lover of unity and a lover of change
Who felt the calling of the Lord to change the world, who felt that African American's needed their rights, and love for every person
Who found happiness in helping his fellow African Americans fight peacefully for their rights
Who needed the world to listen to his ideas, and some did yet sadly not all are as open
Who dedicated all his life to help African Americans get the rights they deserve
Who feared that the time would never come for black boys and girls to hold hands with white girls and boys
Who liked to see the hope in his fellow African Americans eyes when they accomplished what they had strived for so long to achieve
Who enjoys the singing, praying, talking with all the people who needed him to lead
Martin Luther King Jr

Great way to do this, very original even though others did MLK
ReplyDeleteI really like how you added your own lines to the poem and made it fit with the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
ReplyDeleteThe line about fear makes me say WHOA! This is very moving Mary Claire!
