Amy Sky - Phenomenal Woman

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. When I told her I wanted to set the poem to music, she said she had always wanted it to be a song, and gave me permission on the spot. Not only was I thrilled to be able to sing out her inspiring words of self- affirmation night after night, I learned a very valuable lesson about intention. I passionately believed the poem should be a song, and the universe heard me and responded. I encourage anyone who has a dream, no matter how out of reach it seems, to keep it in your purse - keep it close to your heart. Travellers who undertake a journey for the right reasons, are always helped by invisible hands.

@SgrMagnolia74 you kno this is a famous poem right?

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! :)
