We heard a voice, God screamed our name,
Then He sent the water to stop the flames.
He extended His hand...and we both reached,
He looked us in the eye and before we had a chance to speak...
He said, "The life you once knew is behind you.
As your family and friends look, they will not find you.
Tears will shed and hearts will be in pain.
Strength & comfort they will receive when they call out my son's name."
As we looked down on all of you below,
We wished we were there with you but we had to go.
The time of death for each of us is never given,
And though it hurts, you just have to keep on living.
If we could've warned you before it happened, maybe we would have,
When it comes to death, we all have to pass.
Keep your prayers floating heaven bound,
Know that God take angels but leave their love on the earthly grounds.
He let us watch ova you when needed,
God only takes the best when their purpose is completed.
Keep those tears and smile just like we are,
Who could be sad when God has us above the stars.
We're safe...know that God called us in,
Life on earth is no longer...but eternal life begins.
Love,
Paul Walker & Roger Rodas

The Little Things. The Joy They Bring.
My Poetry's Truths:
I got out of bed...brushed my teeth and washed my face. I put on a pot of coffee and made breakfast to put on a plate. I went down on the corner where the main streets intersected. Called over to me 5 of the homeless that lay there in this cold air, disconnected. I invited them in for a hot meal, warm coffee and conversation. I let them all take a warm shower, gave them a change of clothes and they returned to their usual location. Then I began walking back home and thinking about the good things that God has done for me. I began to think about the good that God juss let them see. I began to think about how tomorrow, I could be that same disconnected person sitting, waiting for God to lead someone down my path. I did for them wut God does for me daily without letting a moment pass.
**Be thankful. Take a day this month, friend someone less fortunate, forget the NOT SO IMPORTANT things that we make SO IMPORTANT and be an angel.**

DEDICATED to the FAMILY of the TWO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS that died in TULSA, OK (London Square House Fire)
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.

If You Just Believe
Just sat down and started writing off the top of my head.
My Poetry's Truths:
I'm riding with my girlfriends on our way to the mall.
I picked up my phone when I saw there was an incoming call.
On the other end was my doctor saying, "I have some bad news."
Then went on to say, "Please come to my office today around two."
Got dropped off back home with my mind wondering wild.
My patience running out wondering what the hell I den' got myself into now.
Now I'm at the doc's office sitting in a packed waiting room on edge.
Then I heard, "Come on darling you're next."
Followed the nurse to room number five and she said the doctor would be in.
I sat there with tears in my eyes as the bad thoughts began.
The doctor walked in and sat in a chair placed next to the bed.
He said, "Sorry to say but you have cancer," as he patted my leg.
I asked, "Are you serious. Are you sure you ran the test right?"
He responded, "Yes I ran the test more than twice."
I asked, "What do I do now? How long do I have to live?"
He then said, "It's all based on the length of time that God gives."
Then he said, "Not only do you have cancer but you HIV."
I looked and said, "You're just joking with me."
He replied, "No, I would never do that. What I'm telling you is true."
I yelled, "Oh God no!!!! Doc tell me what do I do."
Then I heard:
Believe.
Leave the healing to me.
Have faith.
Do as my word say.
Know that you can handle this situation.
When in need, pick up your Bible and turn the pages.
Then I dried my face and a smile appeared.
My doc asked, "Why are you smiling from ear to ear?"
I said, "I ain't worried about those results cos my God got this."
I lived each of life's moments as God gave them to me.
Day in and day out, I didn't worry about the cancer or HIV.
I did as my God said and I left it all in His hands.
And when in need, I go to my Bible and get fed.
Though I'm in a situation most would be scared to be in.
I have faith and God has definitely taught me about believing.

A Poem for my dad, Adrian Peterson
Today I watched TMZ live and heard about the abuse done to the 2-year old son of Adrian Peterson. I was sadden and shocked that someone could do this. Not too long after that I heard that he passed from his injuries. Immediately my heart went out to A.P., his family, his son's mothers and her family. I also wrote:
A
Poem for my dad, Adrian Peterson
I
heard a voice say, “Come little angel,” as a hand reached down for me,
My
eyes were dried and then I heard, “I’ve come to set you free.”
God
then held me in His hand and took me home up high,
I’m
sorry that I had to leave without even saying bye-bye.
Daddy,
I love you more than you will ever know,
God
called me home so I had to go.
I
know that there may be anger deep down inside,
I’m
looking from up top at your crying eyes.
Know
that God has never taken an angel by mistake,
Know
that God can make sure that the pain goes away.
I
ask that God give you understanding as the days pass by,
And
let you know that I have a smile that’s so, so bright.
If
you ever want to see my face again, let the memories play,
Whenever
you have questions, just kneel and pray.
Daddy,
continue to do good and I’ll be right there with you,
Also
standing at the gates of heaven when God come to get you.
Love,
Baby
Peterson
