I Have a Dream

Words written and shared in speech 

in prose, on page or out loud

for me tonight they ring in song 

Layered over lyrics 

of rising beyond circumstance

of a teacher and her dream

Helping Young people to write 
their own stories

Reaching those who were forgotten 
Left behind

And I know that everyday

There are those who do the same 

Teaching and inspiring 

Reaching, pulling up 

Standing behind
