Adieu Maya
A new star graces the sky
shinning bright, twinkling blue
an ebony star that was you
who sits upon our hallowed sigh
Your words echo promises of hope
rhyming our beating heart to our soul
making us become a verse of heavens goal
even though I wonder how can we cope
Maya you were too beautiful to remain here
where God's angels are seldom known
into the soil of our heart you have sown
rich laughter our eager ears still hears
Angelou you are our mocking bird
who sang clearly her divine song
who soared our heavens so long
your song seems like all we hear
We miss you our lovely Maya
our true black and proud mama
