Only Great Maya Angelou

Today the soul has rise The soul has risen and left the hope The hope that was the dream The dream that many look upon Today the soul has risen from America America grieve not alone but with the whole world The world have heard the news The dream that a little girl lived The girl that become a powerful woman Today the soul meets the creator The creator too so happy He too is proud of all the accolades Today the soul receive its ultimate awards The awards of joy after many years of labour It’s the labour that has inspired the world The world that sees through Today the languages miss a word The word that has been in the lips of many The word that will live for generations The word that will always give hope to children Today the angel takes her place The place of the greats The sit that will be taken now Today the words are the only that talk ‘If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.’ It is these words that will forever change our lives I too wanted to touch you But today only your words can touch me Oh hail the black ocean Today only light shines The stars have gathered Today only Maya Angelou can walk Even the sun leave regards Even I look upon this splendid view.
