    From my attitude, i think Angelou is saying which you do not desire lots of money to stay a stable existence. I have been on condition that from: My existence ain't heaven besides the incontrovertible fact that it particular ain't hell. i'm not on good yet I call it swell She does not have an opulent existence, yet she's going alongside positive.

    You could have done the work, at least posting the poem here with credits, but knowing some of her work, even the title suggests endure, never quit, or give up hope.
