With the certainty of tides
Just like hopes springing high
Still I'll rise..."

Still I'll rise..."

Thank you, Maya,
for all the insight,
wisdom, beauty, strength and inspiration

you and your amazing words have given me.
May your words live on into eternity.
You are one of those who taught me
how to always

...live beautifully.
