There were two angels taken in a house fire a few days ago in Tulsa, Ok so I had to write:
From the bottom of our feet up, the heat began to rise. We didn't know wut to think, at 18-months and four years old, all we could do was cry. Buried in smoke we could do nothing but cry out, "Mommy! Daddy! Auntie!!! Anybody...please come and get us." But before anyone could do just that, our last breath was with us.
God turned on the lights of Heaven so that we could find our way there. God sent down his beautiful angels to come with us so we wouldn't be scared. God whispered, "It will be okay. Just follow the light as you see it." God was standing right there, in front of something so gorgeous you wouldn't believe it.
Momma! Daddy! We juss want you to know that everything will b alright. We're sure you imagine daily how we felt during the fire's light. We ask God to let you know that even though our lives were short lived, we fulfilled our purpose. Even though just a short while, the love we felt was worth it. Please don't cry, there was nothing you could do, and nothing you can go back and change...just smile. Know that we could not stay cos God said, "Come on home child."
Each night before you lay to sleep. Sing these words (in the Hush Little Baby tone):
Wait little tear drops, don't you fall.
I won't cry. No, not at all.
My little angels watch over me.
All day and night until I fall asleep.
If I don't fall fast asleep.
They come down and lay with me.
We pray a prayer for God to hear.
Thanking Him for protecting them and keeping them near.
Just know that God make NO mistakes. His love heals, help and protects. Just know that God will never do anything to hurt you. We live to die...and though we know this, we still never expect.
As our wings spread out into position. We didn't choose to leave, it was Gods decision.
Love,
The beautiful two.

In Memory of Donald McClurkin Sr (Father of Donnie McClurkin)
A day ago or so I saw on a post from Rickey Smiley on FB about the death of Donnie McClurkin's father and it was immediately put on my heart to write for him. I hope these words help him get through this in some way. I am so blessed and thankful for the gift that God has given me.

On the morning of November 13, 2013 the golden gates of heaven were opened. To my surprise when I heard the words that the voice of an angel had spoken.
"The heavenly father asked that I come down to earth and fill you in. To let you know your eternal life now begins."
Because this was my first time meeting death I didn't know what to think. But I really had no time, the earth was gone at a blink. As God reached His hand down from beyond the floating skies. I looked back down on you and wiped the tears from my eyes. Then the voice of God sounded and this is what was said,
"The pain they will feel when they hear you are dead. But know that I will not let them live with the hurt. My love will cover them daily and trust me it works. I will comfort them and give them what they need to get by each day. I will listen for their calls and answer to what they pray. I will wipe the tears that pain place in their eyes. I will help them stand tall as they say their good-byes."
At that very moment, my mind was at ease. My worries were gone and I was now filled with peace. I know that me leaving will be hard to swallow. But know that I'm here not only today but also tomorrow. Now me and your mother will sit side-by-side watching you as you continue on in life. Though I did not want to leave you, God gave me my wings so I could fly.
I will forever and always love you.

Playstation 4 vs My Child
**It's amazing the things we make time for**
My Poetry's Truths:
Heard the Playstation 4 was hitting the stores at midnite so outside the store I was seated. Blanket covering my legs and a jacket on my body to keep me heated. Got to the store about 2pm cos I wanted to b first in line. Was gon' make sure that if nothing else, I was gon' get mine. So I sat there and I waited. Thinking about all the fun I was gon' have, the prize I was gon' get for waiting. The moment come and I'm the first one in the store. The first one at the counter with my hundred dollar bills and more.
The next morning my child calls and says that they just wanna hang out with me. I just sat and listened as he/she said mama/daddy please come and get me. I had to tell 'em that I was beat cos I was out all nite, maybe another time. And got the response that I always say that and end up doing nuthin' but lieing. But hey, I got what I wanted so outta my bed I leaped. Went and open the box that waited patiently for me. Had the biggest smile on my face that one had ever seen. I finally got the game that I kept envisioning in my dream.
Later that day my child called and asked if I was still busy. He/She said, "Now can you come get me?" I responded with a quick lie saying that I gotta go in to work. The crazy thing is, I lied and didn't care that he/she was hurt.
