Saturday's Child Poem

Some are teethed on a silver spoon,
With the stars strung for a rattle;
I cut my teeth as the black raccoon--
For implements of battle.

Some are swaddled in silk and down,
And heralded by a star;
They swathed my limbs in a sackcloth gown
On a night that was black as tar.

For some, godfather and goddame
The opulent fairies be;
Dame Poverty gave me my name,
And Pain godfathered me.

For I was born on Saturday--
"Bad time for planting a seed,"
Was all my father had to say,
And, "One mouth more to feed."

Death cut the strings that gave me life,
And handed me to Sorrow,
The only kind of middle wife
My folks could beg or borrow.

Martin Luther King Poem

He had a dream.
He understood
The sturdy grace
Of brotherhood.

He had a dream
That simple joy
Would gently bless
each girl and boy.

He shared his dream.
His wise words shone:
“Join hands.
We cannot walk alone.”

He had a dream
All hearts can sing:
“This is our hope…
Let freedom ring.”
