We Rise: A Tribute to Maya Angelou

We Rise: A Tribute to Maya Angelou

As the cool still breath of morning is not yet pierced by the caged
bird's song

We Rise

As the fury of the morning's rat race to work has not yet resumed

We Rise

As the last stars of the pristine black night give way to the
brightness of the sun

We Rise

As the sound of the last perk in the coffee pot echoes in our sleepy
ears

We Rise

As the fresh air of an unspoiled breeze passes beneath our nose

We Rise

As the last petal falls from the spent flowers of yesterday's garden

We Rise

As the inspiration of higher mind and heart from the other side
prevails

We Rise

As the last snore erupts from our disturbed slumber

We Rise

As the rock that formed your pedestal of support stands alone

We Rise

As the memory of your heart awakening voice trembles through
our entire body

We Rise

As the absence of your presence in this reality sinks in to our
restless minds

We Rise

As your model of strength, wisdom, determination, perseverance
and self-love lives

We Rise

And the free bird sings within us all
