Cicely Tyson who played numerous dramatic roles
A Broadway Spotlight calls her behold
Dramatics within realization
Ms. Tyson was God’s creation
She took Acting seriously and standing for all civilization
Yet her talent deserves every appreciation
Ms. Tyson encountered discrimination
But it was all damnation
Ms. Cicely Tyson was a talented Black Inspired Woman
She cannot be denied for that
It’s not a fact, but forward back to her acting life, and she stands alone in her craft
If Cicely Tyson were alive today, what wisdom would she portray?
“If it’s acting you want to achieve, then prepare, and be ready to act. Find tone your approach, and let the spotlight be your shine, and just the applause be your inspiration continuous”
Ms. Tyson conquered all racial barriers
Determined to succeed, and not setting for negative words
She was destined that her acting ability would be heard
I remember when Ms. Tyson played the role of Jane Pittman on TV of “The Autobiography of Ms. Jane Pittman”
She played the role superbly and her dramatics being an encore in greatness
I can say being a witness
Now Ms. Cicely Tyson had been blessed through the years
She lived to be 96, but now is in Heaven’s threshold
I hope I can live to a right old age the way Ms. Tyson did

She achieved and has gone far
Thank you Ms. Tyson in showing the world in living the ways of can

Until we meet again in the next life

Let my gifted talent be a reason for you to achieve in your own life
But my words of “If I, you can do too”
