Mother Rosa

In memory of Rosa L. Parks 

Freedom. 

You carried that banner 
For us all 
And for all of us you stood 
The test of time 
And weathered every storm 
In order to bring 
On FREEDOM as our goal and place 
FREEDOM in our sights. 

You sat down 
So we can move up, 
You sat down 
So our children's children 
Won't give up or give out. 

You carried that torch 
Of FREEDOM in order 
To bring hope for others 
Even in a dying world 
Where race is an issue 
You were the one 
The barrier of that light....
