Maya Angelou
We adore you
Your poems live
You rise
You're the ocean
You're the tide
You're the dream
You're our pride
Great life you had
You got untied.
Maya
You're real
You know the truth
Why the caged bird sings
You sing of freedom
You find us a way
To fly away thru
The bars of the cage
Freedom's for all
Let the world be free.
You're a woman of wisdom
You inspire and motivate
Everyone who
Lives in this world
Your word's force
You command respect
You demand work
To uplift the poor
Phenomenal you're
A phenomenal woman.
Alone you took
All things in stride
You made this world
A better place to live.
