WHAT’S MY NAME? Tribute to CICELY TYSON

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

Ms. Tyson’s name is written in the stars

She achieved and has gone far

Thank you Ms. Tyson in showing the world in living the ways of can

Wisdom your honor

Essence being golden

Your Soul was whisked away

But you said, you won’t say goodbye

Until we meet again in the next life

What’s my name, Cicely Tyson?

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”
