HER EYES
(For Dr. Maya Angelou)
Through Maya’s eyes the collective we
can see what we were meant to be
God’s children all colors, ethnicities,
genders and religions
The beautiful rainbow of His collection
The bouquet of His grace
The flowers of His garden – the world
We may vary in shades, in ideas
in causes, in beliefs
But when the petals of life are peeled away
we all long for love, peace and happiness
For a fulfilled life
Through Maya’s eyes we see the potential
we all share
To come together as we were born
one race —– the human race
to live in harmony with each other
and with this Earth
To do unto others as we would do
unto ourselves
To love this Earth, protect it, grow it
and pass it on to the next generation
Through Maya’s eyes we see the future
the reason we were put here
in the garden of our times to
shepherd in the special spirit needed
in these particular hours
So let us not miss our calling
and bring tears to her
wise and sparkling eyes
Brilliant eyes
that clearly sees this world of
Humankind…
