Echoes of Maya Angelou
By Patricia Britt
No, I won’t tell you I was
great.
But, what I will tell you is
I tried.I developed the courage to try, you see.
As I mastered each new step on my journey,
With an open heart.
Choo Choo!
I got some things done,
And I rose with style in my quest for knowledge,
And understanding, and wisdom.
I even made time for onions & green peppers.
And I did it with empathy, and prayer.
I gathered a gumbo of people
to keep me open, and young.
As I found my way trying new
things in each chapter of my life.
What did I do?
You felt my heart I gave to you.I followed my heart.
My heart is volumes deep,
You can rediscover my songs of truth,
Anytime you seek to find the simple treasure in our communication.
I’m free to explore with the
spirits of the universe.
Build on all I’ve left for
you my dears,And always grow.
We’re all stair steps to & through the stars you know.
I’m of the sky twirling on mountaintops.
I’m of the earth, and the sun exceeding motion.
I’m of the aura of ether enveloped,
in the kindness of dark matter through infinity.
