Excerpt from Maya Angelou's Phenomenal Woman

Now you understand just why my head's not just bowed.

I don’t shout or jump about

Or have to talk real loud.


When you see passing it out to make you proud.

I say.

It’s the click of my heels,

The bend of my hair,

The palm of my hand,

The need of my care,


Cause I’m a woman

Phenomenally woman

Phenomenal woman

That’s me.
