Loved her. Just the thought of her no longer being "among us" makes me sad.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
Be free and rest easy Ms. Angelou.Last edited by KoilyLocGirl; 05-28-2014 at 03:02 PM.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Those words get me through some tough times. RIP you extraordinary soul.

I was gifted I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and her Book of poems when I was 12. Both works were life changing for me. I was also fortunate enough to see her perform some of her poetry live when I was 13. She's one of the few public figures that I have drawn true inspiration from. Her books should be required reading in schools. Her legacy is an amazing one and will truly have a lasting impact for generations to come. She will be missed.

Heard the news first thing this morning when I was in the shower.
