One Day

by Joe S.




Someone who was tired and sad because of life
Decided to make a difference
I'm not sure she knew what would happen
But she had courage
Courage makes a difference
It only takes one person

No.
I will not give up my seat
Things changed

Someone was brave

Someone did not care if she would be arrested
Right was right
She was arrested
It only takes one person

Long walks
People started walking
381 tiring days
No transportation
People suffered but did not give up
It only takes one person


One Person
It only takes one person
If that person is Rosa Parks
Or Martin Luther King Jr.
It doesn't matter who
But that a person has to stand up
For what they believe.
