What do I say

I could remember in school reading maya Angelou does the caged bird sing
That gave me dreams
To believe 
To bring 
My words
My journey
Of peace 
Inside I scream but nobody ever hears
My daughter wants to be a lawyer
But how do I calm all of her fears
I tell her to courageous 
Look life right in its eyes
Live, laugh, and love
But never forget gods light
I guess that what I should say
