POEM ~ Martin Luther King ~ By: Myra Cohn Livingston

 Reorganizing the "library box" today, I took a moment to leaf through "The Random House Book of Poetry for Children:  A Treasury of 572 Poems for Today's Child."   A poem titled "Martin Luther King" caught my eye:

Martin Luther King

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.

   ~ Myra Colin Livingston
