Short Poems for Black History Month
Living the Dream Made Forty Years Ago
Forty years, forty years ago
A dream was told
For me and for you
Beautiful, equally bold.
A dream was told
For me and for you
Beautiful, equally bold.
My father kept that dream
In his heart, hopeful;
My mother sang the dream
With her lullabies, glorious.
My brothers played the sports
Representing the stars and banner;
My sisters cheered them all
Knowing my brothers a winner
Too, I have a dream now
One day, my father, mother
Brothers and sisters will come
Living this dream, together.
Same dream made and told,
Forty, forty years ago.
