Dear Family

DEAR FAMILY 

Dear Family, my life has come to an end on this earth, 
And my ashes will mingle within the dirt, 
What I have done within my many years of my life, 
It’s only a speck of what was right, 
 
I go to the place where pink flowers bloom, 
It is a place within the upper room, 
I will keep preparing it until the last has come, 
Then my work in heaven has only just begun. 
 
Dear family, keep the faith and Trust in Him, 
Even when you grow weary and your sight gets dim, 
Never forget who is always there for you, 
Our God, Our Savior, Our Holy Spirit, and me too!!!

The Color of Love

The Color of Love

When death chooses the right man,
The man who left his footprints in our sand.
It’s hard to understand why he’s gone,
And questions arise was death Wrong?

My heart then feels heavy and then my mind gets weak,
Then death says subliminally“what is it you seek”?
I was stun after the question was ask of myself,
Then boldly I said “more time would have helped”.
Death replied time is no essence when life decides to
leave,

“But our hearts are full of sadness and we have to grieve”.
Then death stated, “grieving is part of healing, allow love
to walk with you and caress what you’re feeling”.
I now understand what Death was saying,
It was original but yet I still embrace the pain.
Love step in and encourage my soul,
He said my child allow me to fill that hole,
Now I see why we hold on to the memories,
It allows the color of Love to eternally embrace me.
