Riding The
Bus
In fond memory of Rosa
Parks
By Doris
Washington
Many years have passed
since then.
And we reflect when
one
Was just riding the
bus.
Going home from a long
day’s work.
She was just riding the
bus
On an ordinary
day,
As she was asked to move
from her seat,
Because of the color of
her skin.
Many years have passed
since then.
And we reflect of that
one riding the bus.
She refused to give up
her seat, and was arrested,
And taken to jail in a
land where all are to be free.
Just riding the bus she
was- just riding the bus.
Many years have passed
since then.
When her arrest spurred
cries
For freedom all over
America ’s
soil.
A change was about to
come,
For all of us to be
free.
Many years have passed
since then.
When the fight for her
freedom
Was the fight for
everyone.
Because of her courage,
her stand,
She made a difference for
us all.
May we never forget the
one who was
Just-
Riding The Bus!
