Sister May (Tribute to Maya Angelou)

Sister May (Tribute to Maya Angelou)

Sister May sang her songs

For the congregation

But they sounded so sweet

The world found time to listen

Like a messenger she stood,

To speak the bad and the good

And everyone stood in appreciation.

Sister May sang her songs

For the congregation

For the pride of a people

And the power of a woman

Hey Susan, wow your comment is beautiful sweet lady; lol, don't think I've ever said that about a comment before, but yeah wow, that is a very cool scene you just painted, I would've loved to sit at the same table just listening to that conversation between two of my all time favourite poets...ttyl

Dude I totally LOVE the way you repeated  "Sister May sang her songs..".........says ALOT about your understanding of her profound affect on this world.........for she surely was a singer........music being the universal language and all.........you're frustratingly good my brother..........I could NEVER have come up with such an utterly profound phrase for sister Angelou!!.........smokin' grooves!!...........later man........T xo
