This poem was inspired by Maya Angelou's Poem "Still I Rise." The poem showd up in an email to me a couple of days ago. I just knew that I had to do something with it. I am a great admirer of Maya as she was indeed a most wonderful poet.
“Like the sunrise”
Like the sunrise,
I shall rise.
For all my tomorrows
Are but mine.
Like the ocean waves
I shall return
To climb the highest peaks.
Like the wind
That touches my skin
I shall rejoice
As life begins again.
Like the rain
That caresses my fields
I shall forever praise
The gods that made it so.
Like the rivers
That run to the seas
I shall bless
The little ones who come to me.
Like the sunset
I shall rejoice
The days
That I have lived.
Like a moon beam
I shall cherish
The glories of life.
Like the stars
That sparkle
I shall love my lover
Even in the darkest of nights.
Like the sunrise
I shall rise again
And begin my
Days again.
