Phenomenal Woman

It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

    She was amazing. I was blessed enough to have heard her speak in person when I was in college. RIP, Maya Angelou.

    She gave us an amazing gift.

    Of course, as a cat, I have a totally different take on the caged bird than my mom does. ;-)

    She had an amazing life. I think we all would feel a life well lived to get to 86, especially to die asleep in our own beds, like it was reported Maya did. Yes, indeed if only we all could be so blessed.

Leave me a meow or a hiss; I don't mind a hiss or two. . . or even a bitey.
