This dazzling Christmas poem by Maya Angelou is powerful and inspiring for people of all faiths.

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.
