Rosa Parks
1913 - 2005
This morning on the bus I saw
The faces of my neighborhood.
Yawning in the predawn dark:
"Good morning. Watch your step."
"You have a nice day now."
Black woman in a business suit
Young white guy with a nose ring
Blond mother with Latina baby girl
Korean grandma from the corner store
Together on the bus.
Rosa, Rosa, were you with us
This morning on the bus?
