Jackie Robinson lived with strife.
He loved to play baseball all his life.
He had support from his mom and wife.

No one wanted him to play because he was black.
But while this all happened, he never did slack.
Even though he got criticized, he never did it back.

He went to play on a New York team.
Jackie was happy because that was his dream.
He was the best player anyone had ever seen.
