A SOUL FOR MAYA

Dear Maya Angelou,
I remember at Mrachek Middle School, picking up one of your books and discovering “ALONE,” which was history.
I drew my strength from the things you wrote, and now, though you are gone; I’ve always been inspired to write…love…

And, yes, Maya made me do it,
and since then, I’ve never put down the pen.
It moves mountains.
I pray you’re dancing with the angels…
