In the early years things were rough,
So you had to be tough,
Now in life you have all the finest things,
You have sat with stars, presidents and kings,

I, along with the entire nation
Watched your amazing transformation,
And I shared your pain
As your weight went up, down and up again
Yet you just kept on inspiring
Even when others were conspiring,
You were forever trying
To make the human race
Live in a much better place,

Oprah's angel network roamed the land
Giving the needy a helping hand.
Your Book Club give aspiring authors a start
And God knows you've done your part.

I have felt the cares
That plagued your earlier years.
About you and Gayle there's been a vicious rumor,
But because you have such a sense of humor,
Like yesterday's garbage you just throw it out,
Cause it's nothing more than dirt.

I have shared your joys,
As you generously gave out gifts and toys
To many little girls and boys,
To the needy,
And sometimes to the greedy.

I have seen the pride in your eyes
As you talked about those that touched your life...
Steadman, Solomon, Gayle too!
You seemed destined from birth
To be our angel here on earth!
