Poetess Mother Maya Angelo

POETESS  MOTHER MAYA ANGELO
by James Edward Lee Sr.

Mother warrior, wordsmith poetess
Maya;
Sister, daughter of the almighty Father
Maya;
You set the world on fire;
Fearless
Breathless a world that's in a  mess;
God lent us this person
Maya;
A wordsmith, poet, activist,
   an actress, dancer she has most of the answers;

A visionary for the oppress;
A representative of women causes;
Did I mention one voice one of God's daughter;
And if I could me ya;
I confess I'd be honored
Mother Maya, poetess
God bless
Poet Maya Angelo

So kind Mother Rhyme;
Never backing down;
I know why the caged bird sings;
Thank-you Lord (for everything)
God thanks for sharing;
Maya Angelo;

Still I rise;
The Lesson;
When you come
So kind Mother Rhyme;
Never backing down;
I know why the caged bird sings;
Mama Rhyme you're now
Touched by an Angel;
We miss you, we love you;
Poetess Mother, Sister...
Maya Angelo
Your words will forever go  on and on and on..
"Marguerite Annie Johnson"

Alexis Y. Date: 12/19/2017 2:17:00 PM Hi James, This is such a wonderful and upbeat dedication to Maya Angelo and women poets( Thank You so much kind sir). Dr. Maya Angelo was a good role model for myself and others like me. She will and always will be one of my favorite poets hands down. She was a strong and confident woman and she lives on in her poetry. Thanks for writing this in honor of her. Excellent job:-) Alexis Login to Reply
