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
