In this poem by Maya Angelou, there is power and hope.

With poetry and the arts, Maya Angelou showed people a way of strength and power.

When do the work of seeing and nurturing the God who lives in us,
When we do the work of speaking with our own voices,
When we do the work of seeing and nurturing God who lives in the stranger, the alien, and the one who looks and acts differently from us,
When we love God, love ourselves and love our neighbors, the world will be transformed.

Thank God, for Maya Angelou who by example, showed us how to rise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDyTu9wg_JU
