In the quiet shadows of the morn,
A voice so strong, now softly gone.
Maya, your spirit soars on high,
Unyielding, even as you say goodbye.
Your words like rivers carved their way,
Through hearts and minds, a bright array.
Wisdom flowing in every line,
Your legacy, forever will shine.
From caged birds to rising suns,
Your stories touch each and everyone.
Courage, strength, and boundless grace,
A guiding light in the darkest place.
Though you have left this earthly plane,
Your wisdom, love, and spirit remain.
Maya Angelou, your voice we hear,
Whispering hope, year after year.
