(In Memory of the great Poetess Maya Angelou) <br /> <br />The day you were born, <br />A bright star came down <br />To illuminate many souls <br />In America and the world! <br />That special day, <br />The spirit of hope and joy <br />Was reborn through you! <br /> <br />Soul and Body <br />Magically combined <br />To become a reservoir <br />Of beauty and wisdom <br />Through the passage of time! <br /> <br />You always sang like a bird, <br />Smiled like the butterflies, <br />Constantly touching the world <br />With your wise, inspiring <br />And powerful words! <br />You made every single woman <br />To become proud of herself! <br /> <br />You made the difference <br />In the Poetry World <br />By echoing through your words <br />And magic pen, <br />The message of Peace and Love! <br /> <br />You absorbed our pain, <br />Sadness, hungry and emotions <br />While sharing unconditionally <br />Your true and humble love with all! <br />You became the world <br />And the world adores you! <br /> <br />You highlighted the real value <br />Of women all over the globe <br />By bringing knowledge as a goal <br />In order to succeed, <br />No matter the color, race or creed! <br /> <br />You will live forever dear <br />Through all of us <br />For generations to come! <br />You have become a fountain <br />Of Beauty and Wisdom <br />That will always inspire us! <br /> <br />Long live your legacy! <br />Rest In Peace dear Maya Angelou! <br /> <br />©All rights reserved-2014 <br />New York City<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-will-live-forever/
