Just want I Have a Dream?
On a warm summer day, a big crowd of people gathered together. Their faces were turned up like sunflowers looking at the sun. I wasn't something you could touch with your hands. I was a feeling in the air. I started as a little whisper of hope, and then I grew into a big, beautiful sound. I am a dream, made of special words, waiting to be shared with everyone.
My voice came from a kind man named Martin Luther King Jr. On August 28th, 1963, he stood in a very special place called the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. He shared me with the whole world. I am the speech called 'I Have a Dream.' My words told everyone about his wonderful dream. He dreamed that one day, all children, no matter what color their skin is, could hold hands and be friends. My words painted a happy picture of a world full of fairness and love for every single person.
That day was a long, long time ago, but I am still here. My words fly all over the world, like little birds, reminding people to be kind to one another. I live in books and in happy songs. I also live in the hearts of people who keep dreaming of a friendly world. I am here to remind you that your own hopeful words and big dreams can help make the world a better, more colorful place for us all.
