Dreams:
What are dreams?
Are they here or there?
For some, there everywhere

There are dreams
That fill the hearts of others.
Some that help us day by day.

One of the biggest dreams
Are still remembered today
He dreamed and dreamed
For things to be right.

He wanted so hard
for people to be equal.
He work for his dream
As hard as he could

Sometimes,
Dreams come true.
But outlive the dreamer.

Dreams have to be strong
And be spread
From head to head
to be kept inside their hearts

His dream came true.
We waited long
Now we play with everyone
No matter their color.

This dreamer,
A household name
Gave everyone equality
He worked to his dying breath


Thank you
Martin Luther King

All that is gold does not glitter,<br /> Not all those who wander are lost;<br /> The old that is strong does not wither,<br /> Deep roots are not reached by the frost.<br /> From the ashes a fire shall be woken,<br /> A light from the shadows shall spring;<br /> Renewed shall be blade that was broken,<br /> The crownless again shall be king.

Sometimes,
Dreams come true.
But outlive the dreamer.

This was simply perfect!! Very well done. My mom is white and my dad is black and I'm so glad that King's dream came true (:
