The dream realised

“I have a dream" 
Is a very famous quote
A very famous line
Dr Martin Luther King
once wrote
He had a vision
That for his little children
their would one day be
A time where they would
no longer be judged
By the colour of their skin you see
He dreamed of a time
A time when they would be judged
solely by the content
of their character
This is a dream I truly loved
Then my extraordinary granddaughter
When asked one day at school
What were her thoughts
on those dark days
when racists ruled
She stood up and said
Looking her teacher in the eyes
Sir you see me and my sister
We are that dream realised
No one judges us
By the colour of our skin
They judge us by our actions
And the love and pride we hold within.
This world will never be perfect
There will be those who
Just don't care
Humanities frailties
Will for certain always be there
But most of us know better
lots of us are now wise
And we must stand together
In peace, helping others
Side by side
