she was a brave black woman
who did what she had to do
because if anything went wrong
she knew that she could count on you
 
even though the white men 
thought what she did was wrong
she had to keep her head up high 
and continue to stay strong
 
she was recently laid to rest
knowing that she succeeded 
in fighting for what was best
 
she is a woman 
that everyone should cherish in their hearts
and never forget that her name is 
ROSA PARKS
