A legend was born

You left us to mourn

Toni Morrison paved the way

For a lot us authors today

1953

Birthed a degree

1963

Finally, free

1970

The Bluest Eye

Indeed, made me cry

The first of many

Your accolades were plenty

There is no denying

Your happiest times

Included writing

You had a love for words

A voice we heard

And pleasure was taken

In reading your words

My tribute to you

Is to always be true

And honor my gift

Many souls to lift

Finally, at peace

Your soul has been released

2019

You joined the Divine
