I love how her hands move to her poetry like a dance! This woman is an Amazement!

"For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to BE it."

Man, lightning was coursing through my veins after she said that.

Im not a poet, nor one to read and enjoy poetry on a regular basis, but this young lady had me mesmerized, from the very beginning to the end.... great Job young Lady

I was driving in my truck working when I heard the beautiful words of inspiration from this child of Light, she's going to have a wonderful career in what ever she chooses to do may God Bless her and the rest of us!

I'm 59, and I have never watched and listened to someone articulate a profoundly meaningful message as beautifully as this young lady did today. She gave voice to America's soul.

For four years I was glad I was not an American.
In 5 minutes and 40 seconds I became envious of US citizens.
If this young woman is representative of the future of your nation, the USA has a very bright future.

As an artist, I genuinely wish for more artists and people like her to be in positions of power, or at least have a seat at the table. I know so many highly intelligent artists that lead from the heart and think so uniquely that they would add so much light, wisdom and fresh forward thinking to a government. Artists aren’t made the most of in our culture.

So when I heard her during the inauguration, I thought, " who the heck is this???" Cause she was incredible! This was epic to an already great day! We can breathe, people. Spread love!

I can't believe how much poise she has for a 22year old. Poem made me cry "Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished"

Ms. Gorman, young lady, you killed it. This was so eloquent, so beautiful and soo powerful..may the Lord continue to take you into this world to make a difference.

When I saw this young lady walk into view her yellow coat was like a light showing the way to a new beginning and her ground breaking poem brought tiers to my 74 year old eyes. Young lady you are the best and there still hope. Greetings from your Northern neighbors 😀

[CupcakeQueen]

Stunning young woman. I’ve spoken to many people about her eloquent and moving words. This gives me so much hope. I felt a shift happen with her words. So blessed to have been able to see this and grateful it’s online. Everyone should watch this.

[SombraDeLaMosca]

Bravo young Lady, what an eloquent and beautiful speech! Much respect from Germany!

"Far from polished, Far from pristine, but that doesn't mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect" Beautiful 🌺

It’s not just her words it’s also how she recites them. I'm sure scholars of the future will spend many hours explicating her words. I’m not American and I found this very moving.

[kerrydevlin]

I'm not even an American but this young lady has made me feel proud for you. This young woman is everything I want my young girls to be.

[lolawants]

This young woman is amazing. Not just her words or her presence, but her spirit and grace. Thank you for sharing yourself with the world

[LMays-cuhp]

She has spoken to life for everyone. We need to be as one people.

[kellygone]

I think Amanda Gorman just temporarily blinded everybody with a metaphorical 100, 000 lumen torch when she showed us how to find the light in this "never ending shade"!

[marcushamner]

“Close the divide, put differences aside”. I love Amanda’s line. She’s awesome! Maya Angelou would be so proud🦅🇺🇸🥲👊🏾
