  • I would hit her in the pooper

  • I dedicate this song to my mother -- the strongest woman in my world -- in my eyes.

  • awesome, beautiful, phenomenal!

  • This song is definitely you Katie

  • That awkward moment when you wish you were a woman.

  • She came to my high school today and sang this song.

  • As a freshman in highschool, tomorrow I am required to recite these moving lyrics. Though I find the poem a tad bland and straightforward, I'm looking forward to the experience. Furthermore, I've already been inspired by her book ,"Where a Caged Bird Sings", which also happened to be a reading assignment of mine for this very same class. Shall Ms. Angelou grant me assurance through my schooling career and to those to come, haha! :)

  • Beautiful, wonderful story mama! Bless up!

  • @SgrMagnolia74 you kno this is a famous poem right?

  • Phenomenal indeed!!! ♥

  • Awesome! Amy, you totally rock! I love Maya Angelou. I love the first version of this song where Olivia Newton-John is singing on it. Amy, you and Olivia are two amazingly gifted singers - the two you together is a masterpeice in the making. Absolutely!

  • Crazy that an italian told me about this song when talking about poets. Maya Angelou words! This is a canadian country singer. Pretty awesome!

  • I have a dream that seems so out of reach, many call it impossible. Impossible is a word that does not exist in my vocabulary. We are what we think about. Thoughts become things. Visualization is the key. NOTHING is impossible. That right there is double negative that REALLY says: EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

  • Listening to this song makes me feel silly for being so wrapped up in physical beauty. You become beautiful when you feel beautiful. A lot of women these days have forgotten that.

  • Years ago I was privileged to have been one of those singers gathered in David Tyson's living room in L.A. around his beautiful white Oberheim grand piano listening to you spill your heart out over songs that had not yet been recorded (or released). To this very day you are Canada's missing link, one of the most underrated singers of our time.

    Much luck & love to you and yours!

  • I carried this incredible poem around in my purse for months, while trying to contact Dr. Maya Angelou to get her permission to put it to music. One day she showed up -- serendipitously - at a taping of the Dini Petty show that I was also on...Reading this story made me burst out crying..really inspired me so much THANK YOU!!!

  • beautiful, inspiring...

  • "the universe heard me and responded"........ gotta love it!!!

  • You did an amazing job with this song~!

  • I saw Amy Sky & heard this song for the first time at a Jim Brickman concert in Verona, NY. I was teary-eyed at the end and was in awe of this woman!

    I wanted to give this song to the members of my women's group, MVBWN, so I sang it to them - and it was empowering...

    Awesome Amy!

  • I think Martin Luther King Jr would be proud and affirmed that one of the most iconic and femininely affecting poems of a black poetess is being performed by a long standing and borderline iconic Canadian country artist.

    That said, good job. I didn't know this poem had been turned into a song before, or that you were still performing amy. good deal all around.
