Oprah Winfrey

The day broke peacefully in Kosciusko, Mississippi The morning came with gladness over the city Flowers smile at the morning breeze refreshing Her birth did not attract television attention She came in disguise with a local identity January 29, 1954, planet earth recorded her name But history had no intention of identifying with her She wore handmade potatoes dresses She was mocked amongst her peers She tasted her tears at an early age She struggled to defeat the battles hindering her future She mounted on the wings of a university scholarship Landed at Tennessee State University Then, history began to notice something peculiar about Oprah Speech and performing arts is the vehicle She drove to get at her high places She ignored all the bus stops along the highway of life She appreciate her grandma’s concrete foundation She acknowledge her father disciplinary impact She boarded success flight with assurance And history began to trace her everywhere She is the world most philanthropic celebrity She established Oprah Angel Network for the underprivileged She established Oprah Winfrey leadership Academic She is the first to receive the Bob Hope award She is the world most influential woman And history welcomes her in his book She settled with the Oprah Winfrey show Her impact is felt all over the world She has the right words for every situation She ask the right questions to expose the whole truth She embraces the hottest stories in the world She always satisfy the desires of her viewers History announces her sun that keep shinning on every color and every generation
