For Rosa Parks
by J. Robbins
They said, "Stand," but Rosa sat;
She knew it wasn't right
to treat her as if she was wrong
because she wasn't white.
She knew that freedom is a fight
that only brave souls win;
She also knew our value lies
in what's beneath our skin.
Rosa fought for what is right;
Her courage paved the way
for kids like you and me to ride
the freedom train today.
