Martin Luther King
By Myra Cohn Livingston
Got me a special place
For Martin Luther King.
His picture on the wall
Makes me sing.
I look at it for a long time
And think of some
Real good ways
We will overcome.
[From A JAR OF TINY STARS, POEMS BY NCTE AWARD-WINNING POETS Edited by Bernice E. Cullinan, 1996]
