From the moment I first heard your voice, you had my attention. Your words inspired me, and I became curious of who you were. Your words were different and yet I understood. To express myself in words became my mission in life, because of Maya Angelou. You are gone now, but your words, your life, your legacy will live forever. I fell blessed to have known such a "Phenomenal Women". These are my words to you..........
“Rest”
It is as if the world stood still
A moment froze in time
No sound of water rippling through a stream
For peace possess my mind
I lay alone, my time to rest
A cloud beneath my head
My thoughts my dreams
Of pleasant things
My life is at its best
It is as if the world stood still
Of a time only I could know
As I have laid in a bed of peace
Like sand upon the shore
Escape the scorns of worldly test
My eyes are gently closed
As the scent of roses fills the air
My worries are no more………..I Rest!
