Martin Luther King Jr., by Eileen Spinelli
A celebrated poet's heartfelt ode to the dreams of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
He had a dream.
He understood
the sturdy grace
of brotherhood.
He had a dream–
that simple joy
would gently bless
each girl and boy.
He shared his dream.
His wise words shone:
"Join hands."
"We cannot walk alone."
He had a dream
all hearts can sing:
"This is our hope...
let freedom ring."
