[@VictoriaFleary]

Breathtaking! Thank you for this gift - Rest in Paradise, Dr. Angelou.

[@vbaime2]

Can't even express how moving this poem was! Maya angelou was one of my biggest idols. Learned so much frm a woman i never even met! I am so grateful for her moment of presence on this earth. God rest her beautiful soul.

[@LyndsayWellsTheKitchenWitch]

Tears rolling down my face. That was simply beautiful.

[@heathermontgomery8502]

This world lost a remarkable woman but the heavens sang! BUT the impression left behind is huge as Natalie proves. I can see Maya's huge beautiful smile as she hears Natalie speak this heartfelt poetic tribute. AND, what Natalie said, lol!

[@averysmith8086]

Natalie Patterson is so inspiring. I love watching her speak with so much passion.

[@nataliepattersonpoetry]

I'm so honored to have the opportunity to share my thoughts in the wake of Dr. Angelou's passing. She has had and will continue to have such a HUGE influence on my life and work. Thank you all for the love and kind words. May she live on in each of us, always.

[@amypetty8895]

[@djeanss]

I was watching this during my spare in the library...and I'm crying. Thank you for this tribute to Dr. Maya Angelou, Rest in Peace, for you have always given me the peace I need.

[@blackemostar85]

"You left us with everything we ever needed." Ah, Natalie - perfect!

[@priscillasmith4336]

Natalie Patterson I love your words every time you come on the show.

[@SweetsugaBrown]

Natalie​​ I want to thank you for this beautiful piece you've dedicated to Dr. Maya Angelou! A soulful literary giant left our world only to enter the beautiful gates of heaven as a poetic goddess, a new beacon of light in heaven which will watch above and over us for an eternity! We are blessed to have had her in our lifetime. We are blessed to have had her words touch our hearts and souls. Oh how we have been so blessed! What you put together for her I see as not a way of saying goodbye to her but rather saying "From you dear sweet Maya I have learned and for you dear sweet Maya I will now continue and teach those under me as I was under you. Because now you a most phenomenal woman has risen up to find rest with our Father!" Thank you! 😊🙏

[@MissCutiePie20]

She was a true goddess of light here to share her wisdom! RIP Maya Angelou.

[@AahyiSam]

Oh what wouldn't I give to see/ hear Dr Maya's response / reaction to Ms. Natalie's tribute. 2 awesome women at opposite ends of the chasm between time and eternity.

[@Pelpina]

You taught us to turn experiences into lessons. I used to read your books, molded my voice after yours - slow and specific. Maya, it was you who made the impossible things possible. Through the wise, wise words you spoke!

[@Participant]

Pelpina Trip Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We love your support.

[@Pelpina]

[@PagniaXiong]

[@lizetterivera7425]

Love this poem. Maya Angelou you are worthy!!!

[@meganhartman83]

Thank you, Natalie.

[@andrealaca1882]

A beautiful tribute to a beautiful and amazing woman!!!

[@wilkinsonisgod]

This is a heart-warming poem to hear after such an amazing woman has left this earth and left hearts that could become cold. Instead, we can take happiness and peace in the work and brilliance that Dr. Maya Angelou has left for the world to discover.

[@bocaruidosa]

Natalie is so amazing. What a superb choice for a tribute to Maya Angelou.

[@anneaf]

wonderful, just simply wonderful.

[@nimiiz17]

Wonderfully freeing, Natalie you allow others to be able to truly experience the emotions most of us keep chained and guarded. Dr Maya Angelou was and will remain the guardian of poetry as you say. Her words transformed many who in turn transformed others. Her ripple effect was big and beautiful.

[@PS-zj4ij]

So beautiful. So talented . So grateful. Thank you.

[@kiyagreen425]

I almost cried at the end

[@eliiiii_kh5994]

Rest in peace one my greatest teachers! Today I dare to be bigger than the circumstances I was born into because of you! I know you can feel our love. Thank you for this tribute, words always fall short but we try

[@belindasimpson7695]

That was a lovely and beautiful Tribute, Natalie. Our dear sister has transitioned into eternity, yet her love for the spoken word lives on and thrives and young sisters like you continue to pass forward the truth of our spirit as women, as men---as human kind...in and out....in and out.....in and out of time. Thank you Maya. Now take your place for quiet rest.

[@TheLuxCrafter]

BEAUTIFUL ..... thank you NP.

[@staciemounts729]

Natalie, what a beautiful tribute.

[@MsSammy2509]

Exceptionally Phenomenal .. words of uplifting enlightenment to a great woman.. these tributes that are told after a passing of such an inspiring individual. should be heard by mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers ..individuals who's soul purpose in life is to bring joy, love and support to one another.... Maya Angelou's voice will never be forgotten and her impact is certainly a lasting impression on how we must value our life.

[@DaisyLuvR10]

What a beautiful tribute to Maya. ♥

[@lwarrell31]

One of my favourite videos on soul pancake... And I love SoulPancake

[@kyarm2388]

natalie you're such a wonderful poet

[@nataliepattersonpoetry]

Thank you.

[@mommyofmiles1]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@maddiimooo]

I wish stuff like this happened before a person dies. I mean, I'm sure it does sometimes, but not in the magnitude or meaning that it does after they pass. And I think it would be wonderful if the person could see it all.

[@atreju305]

Maybe they DO see it ... who knows ...

[@LaurenTheorist]

That woman, and you, are inspirations. She was such a civil rights activist, and such an amazing poet...I only found out about her work after she passed and for that I am sad.

[@greendayfecer]

Gosh this was such a great tribute. It made me cry because everything she was saying are the exact reasons people enjoyed her work so much!

[@michelesullivan8368]

Lovely words from a lovely women. Thank you.

[@shuenler07]

[@Gratitude1214]

Natalie! Phenomenal woman you are! Beautiful tribute, to a woman that gave me newfound courage with each word of hers I read.

[@Dana-lh8ir]

I missed Natalie's poems. Glad there's another video of her, but sad about the reason why.

[@DonCrowder]

[@EleanorJustice]

[@andrewmaclennan8702]

She is woman and we still hear her rawr :)

[@jadeford9793]

RIP 😧😔😿

[@amycyooful]

Her speaking is really great, but the presence of the phone is really distracting.

[@MelissaSotoPerna]

I always wonder how come this type of things are only written when the person is not able to hear them at all.

[@nataliepattersonpoetry]

I think it is about relevance and timing. I actually wrote a poem for her a year ago (it was in a collection I released "dearly beloved" but what would have made this many people care about it on a random day? Unfortunately, we as a people do not often think to express gratitude unless there is a "reason." In many cases death brings it all to the surface. I do believe that once we are no longer flesh and bone we experience everything all at once. I believe my poem found her at the perfect time.

[@MelissaSotoPerna]

In that case I do not think writing such a beautiful poem should be more focus on how much people would care about it but how much the person who it is addressed to will cares. I am sure if she had the chance to read it when alive, it would definitely mattered a lot for her.
