In this beautiful, deeply moving poem, Maya Angelou inspires
us to embrace the peace and promise of Christmas, so that
hope and love can once again light up our holidays and the
world. "Angels and Mortals, Believers and Nonbelievers, look
heavenward," she writes, "and speak the word aloud.
Peace."
Read by the poet at the lighting of the
National Christmas Tree at the White House on December 1,
2005, Maya Angelou's celebration of the "Glad Season" is a
radiant affirmation of the goodness of life and a beautiful
holiday gift for people of all faiths.
