    She is an amazing author, Chicki; if you like that poem, you have a whole world of beauty and wonder in store for you. She has written several books and many beautiful poems. :-)

    They are beautiful indeed.
    Maya Angelou’s work is very powerful and always inspiring.
    I recommend you have a look at her poem: I Rise
    and her autobiographical novel: I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.

    I think that you should make a copy and have it framed with your wedding picture and keep as your keepsake and memories. you could get one for the office during tough times it works. God Bless JM!
