Maya Angelou (1928 - 2014)--By Joe Flach--United States

Maya Angelou (1928 - 2014)

Well known poets are few and far between;
Poets with fame while still living, are hardly ever seen.
So, in that rare occasion, when such a genius comes along,
we bask in her glory and bathe in the beauty of her song.

And, when that pen is laid down, to write poetry nevermore,
We feel a void in our soul where her poetry we once wore.
But the words she leaves behind are there to always comfort you,
And we will cherish them forever, in memory of Maya Angelou.
