Hi Kathy,

It is a very inspiring poem by the great Maya !!

yes it does resonate much of my past too...but...'Still I Rise'  and I'm sure many women share in this too...like me and you! o boy...maybe I should go pen a few lines.....as I see my reply is coming out to you very poetic LOL :-) 

Did you read Maya's  'Phenomenal Woman' ?? thats an incredible one too.

Have fun n be blessed...for we shall RISE !!!!!!!!!!

Christians - By Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, somehow!


grace n peace to you all my friends, luv u much !
