Then There Was Mya

Just when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds:
She was simply...amazing. She spoke from the four corners of the world to the innermost portion of the soul. Her voice was so, so unreal, so fantastic...truly it was a gift from God. Before she spoke a word she sang to us.
Just when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds:
Ohhhhhhhh...she overstands what it means in this world to be black. The meaning of being big and black. The meaning of someone thinking, pointing or labeling it UGLY. She has the ability to take big, black, ugliness into the palms of her hands and into the pit of her stomach and onto the small of her back and make it beautiful!
Just when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds:
Ha! She was flirty, elegant, down and righteous! She moved me, whispered in my ear that black is of an earthy tone. Ha! She danced poetry on the tops of our heads. Ha! She kissed each and every one of us in a dignified way. Naw...she didn't pimp her words, instead she laid them in front us for us to simply eat.
Just when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds:
She was almost as stunning as my very own mother. I wanted to touch her, I wanted to sit shoulder by shoulder with her. I wanted to lay my head in her lap and tell her my story, so that she could possibly help God fix me.
Just when it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds:
A true blessing it was to be blessed by Mya Angelou
Grace and Peace
Many thanks to The Lord of my Life
