    “For this is Wisdom; to love, to live
    To take what fate, or the Gods may give.
    To ask no question, to make no prayer,
    To kiss the lips and caress the hair,
    Speed passion's ebb as you greet its flow
    To have, -to hold -and -in time, -let go!”
    Laurence Hope

    Maya Angelou
    “Out of the huts of history's shame
    I rise
    Up from a past that's rooted in pain
    I rise
    I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
    Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
    Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
    I rise
    Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
    I rise
    Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
    I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
    I rise
    I rise
    I rise.”
    Maya Angelou

    Maya Angelou
    “Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
    I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
    But when I start to tell them,
    They think I'm telling lies.
    I say,
    It's in the reach of my arms
    The span of my hips,
    The stride of my step,
    The curl of my lips.
    I'm a woman
    Phenomenally.
    Phenomenal woman,
    That's me.”
    Maya Angelou, Phenomenal Woman: Four Poems Celebrating Women
