BLACK STRUGGLES: Trubute to Maya Angelou and Yolanda Adams

YET I RISE (original version)

LISTENING TO YOLANDA … THINKIN’ ABOUT MAYA

 

STILL I RISE!!!!  STILL I RISE!!!!

 

IN ALL THIS... WHAT IS A CHALLENGE …?

 

LIFE?   …  YET “I” RISE

 

INSPIRATION, SENSATION, GIVES YOU THE COURAGE TO MOVE ON … CHEVRO-LAY… SHOVE ONE, LAY THE OTHER -- WALK RIGHT, TALK RIGHT,

“A MAN WITH ONE HAND PUT FORTH TO THE PLOW, YET LOOKING BACK IS NOT FIT…”

 

CYCLICLY; NOT PSYCHICLY WE EMERGED FAITH-FILLED PEOPLES…

DESPITE ALL ODDS WHO HAVE YET RISEN

 

A TRY BEATS A FAILURE EVERY TIME…

 CREAM RISES TO THE TOP …

ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE …

THE WEAK FALL BY THE WAYSIDE …

 

 “ONLY BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE”

 FACE YOUR FEARS …

 KEEP ON TRUCKING …

 HAVE FAITH IN YO FAITH…!!!

 

HUMBLE YO’SELF  … CONFESS YO SINS …

WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE WEAK; YET YOU ARE STRONG

 

“ABOVE ALL KINGDOMS AND ABOVE ALL THRONES, PRINCIPALITIES, POWERS AND WICKNEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES” … 

YET … “DOMINION OVER EVERY CREEPING THING, FISH OF THE SEA, FOWLS OF THE AIR …”

YET I RISE …

ABOVE POVERTY, SICKNESS, DIS-EASE, DIS-COURAGE, DIS-ILLUSIONMENT, A-BANDONMENT

YET I RISE

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
