Changes Original Poem Example My life is full of changes; I’m getting a new start. I have to engage, In what is smart. My kids have been my life, But I have to start living. I am no longer a wife, And I have to start forgiving.
Changes continued… Original Poem Example My future is bright; Life is waiting for me. I am no longer uptight, Because I’m unbroken and free!
Your Dreams I dream big dreams for your life, I hope you are happy with no strife. I love talking about your day, I love to hear what you say. Your vision of the world is great, Your dreams allow you to escape. You dream of being a butterfly You want to fly up in the sky.
Up-chucked Original Poem Example One day Ryan up-chucked, He made a big mess. One day Ryan up-chucked, I have to profess. He had cheetos for lunch; He took a long nap. He woke up to munch. He sat in my lap.
Up-chucked continued… He started coughing… It sounded real bad. I started laughing… Then I got mad! He threw-up in my hand! It was orange and white. He threw-up in my hand! I had to get some sprite. Original Poem Example
Up-chucked continued… One day Ryan up-chucked, He made a big mess. One day Ryan up-chucked, I have to profess. Original Poem Example Go Vols!
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's sizeBut when I start to tell them,They think I'm telling lies. I say,It's in the reach of my armsThe span of my hips,The stride of my step,The curl of my lips.I'm a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me.

I walk into a roomJust as cool as you please,And to a man,The fellows stand orFall down on their knees.Then they swarm around me,A hive of honey bees. I say,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 womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me. Phenomenal Womanby Maya Angelou continued…
Men themselves have wonderedWhat they see in me.They try so muchBut they can't touchMy inner mystery.When I try to show themThey say they still can't see. I say,It's in the arch of my back,The sun of my smile,The ride of my breasts,The grace of my style.I'm a woman Phenomenal Womanby Maya Angelou continued… Phenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me.
Now you understandJust why my head's not bowed.I don't shout or jump aboutOr have to talk real loud.When you see me passingIt ought to make you proud. I say,It's in the click of my heels,The bend of my hair,the palm of my hand,The need of my care,'Cause I'm a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me. Phenomenal Womanby Maya Angelou continued…
