Re:Maya Angelou; R; I; P; 1928 - 2014 Date Posted:29-05-2014 04:37Copy HTML Zy you could read the words of this poem as many times as you like, but I don't think you would get the true feelings of the author herself. All the pauses and stops were in the right place and the emotions were abundant in the right places also.
I must admit I had never heard of this lady, but I like this and without doubt I will listen to this again, thanks for posting...Tony (potleek)
Time is the most precious thing we have, but we are the poorer if we can't spend a little time on a friend

Re:Maya Angelou; R; I; P; 1928 - 2014 Date Posted:29-05-2014 08:57Copy HTML I'm so pleased you enjoyed this particular piece, Tony, it is one of my favourites,
this is another...probably 'one of' her most famous...PHENOMINAL WOMAN; I love it; But in Youtube, you will find her words from her book, also titled 'I know why the caged bird sings" and I hope you will also get as much depth from Maya's words if you find time to listen/read. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKGzroMgvSA I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings The free bird leaps But a bird that stalks The caged bird sings The free bird thinks of another breeze But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams The caged bird sings Opposites exist by virtue of each other
