My Poetry Letter To All of You! Love, Mel

My feet were lifted from the ground but my eyes still had you in view, 

God had confirmed my life was completed but something unaware to you. 

As I looked around, knowing that shortly after your hearts would be in pain, 

I asked God to make sure that each and every one of you would always be okay.

Mama five years has passed since the day and I know the tears still fall, 

If only I could, I would come back so that you don't have to deal with the pain of it all. 

I'm missing you just as much as I know that you're down there missing me, 

I reached the heavenly skies and I'm smiling because I got my angel wings. 

Mama life with you was everything and I miss seeing your beautiful face, 

I wish I could have one more hug, one more kiss or just to hear your voice say, "Mel."

When the winds wrap around you just know that I'm sending you my hugs,

When the thunder roars the loudest, know that I'm sending you my love. 

Mama the physical me will never return to the earth but my love never left you,

The same unconditional love I gave on earth, I give that same love in death too. 

 All three brothers...

I know that August 31, 2010 was a very painful day for all three of you dude's,

On the 4300 block of America Street is where the angels came and stood. 

Followed me to the hospital and held my hand until my last breath was taken,

My spirit was then released from my body and moves I started making. 

Flew to the heavens with the rest of my people to live eternal life, 

At the same time I'm missing my brothers and wishing I didn't die. 

But as we know the good Lord above has never made a mistake when names are called, 

And prayers are always answered that's why I asked if He'd watch over y'all. 

Look at y'all dude, I'm sitting here with a smile on my face just seeing this picture,

It would look a little bit better if ya' big brother was in it witcha'. 

Taking a moment to send smiles your way and joke with ya' just a little bit,

I will always and forever love you and that, you better not ever forget. 

Netia, five years has passed since I left and I just want you to know that I'm here, 

The physical me had to leave the earth but my love and presence is always near. 

Thinking about those old times we shared, the laughs and the playing around we did, 

I'd give anything just to have five more minutes with you sis. 

Enjoy life, love hard and do whatever it is you set your mind for, 

You just never know when that time will come for life to be no more. 

I'm so proud of you and all that you've done and I'll continue being by your side, 

God knew what He was doing when He gave me my wings to fly. 

Once upon a time there were three little girls who wanted to conquer the world,

They set out on a mission early in the morning to find every diamond and pearl. 

So from the heavens God called for an angel to help them find what they were after, 

"Melvin" he said, "Go help them out. You'll find them by the sound of their laughter." 

I was taken to the heavens, such a beautiful place and wings were placed on my back,

Then I flew to the earth to help complete your mission with my binoculars and sack. 

Every little journey that you travel, I'll be taking those same steps too,

And if you ever need a helping hand know that I'm standing right next to you.

When you lay to sleep at night, I'll tuck you in and kiss your cheek,

When you open your eyes, the "Good morning" you hear will be me. 

Baby dolls, I love ya'll so much and my love is there in your hearts,

You may not see the physical me but your daddy is never too far. 

Know that I'm always loving ya'll,

I just had to go cause God called. 

I'm never too far away,

I didn't just up and leave, God said I could not stay.

Love,
Mel

When God created me: This is why I'm here!

I love writing. I believe we are all put on this earth for a reason. When God created me, He created me with ink running through my veins and my brain made of letters. When God created me, He created a poet...not just any poet...a poet with a gift to speak on behalf of the deceased. When God created me, God knew that the world would need someone to write for their loved one so that they could hear from them when needed. When God created me, He created a special gift to give to the world.

I am here. Visit my site Kemi Kreations and get your personalized poem today!!!

Gone too soon!!! Miss you granda Ruth Pruitt!!!

I Love Me Some You Grandma!!! 

Twelve months too long...the world I know needs you,

Can't believe that you're gone...and my eyes don't see you.

I know the heavenly people are happy...you're with them,

I know God called you cos He wanted you home with him. 

Grandma, I love you more than you could've ever known,

The tears flooded my face as soon as I heard you were gone.

It seems as if I can pick up the phone right now and hear your voice, 

The selfish me would bring you back if I had my choice.

It's been a whole year and I still hear, "It don't matter to me."

Your voice calling me back my nickname, "Come here Shashi."

Seeing you sitting there at the table and laughing aloud,

Cane in your hand, Pepsi in your glass and you're wearing a smile.

The love I have for you will always and forever be, 

You birthed the woman who then gave life to me.

Grandma, I miss you more than this poem could ever say,

I'm so thankful to call you my grandma...grandma, just so sad that you could not stay.

Love,

Shala

I Love You Bobbi Kristina!!! Love Mommy (Whitney Houston)

I was just reading an article regarding the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina, so I write:

God, I come asking that you wrap Bobbi Kristina in your loving arms,
I ask that you heal her whole and keep her safe from harm.
I ask that you be with her family as they sit close by her side,
I ask that you be her heartbeat, next breath and the vision in her eyes.

(This is written as if Whitney Houston is talking to her daughter)

I got wind that you needed me, so to the earthly grounds I flew,
There's rumors saying my death will be repeated but the God I know loves you.
The anniversary of my death is nearing and the pain of losing me has been hard to deal with,
But I live with the Father God and He has reassured me that this isn't it.

Bobbi Kristina, I want you to know that I love you with all of the love in me,
It was you, baby girl, that made my everyday living mean everything.
Sitting next to you now and looking at your beautiful face and holding your hand,
I may be gone from this earth but your mother's love will forever stand.

Rest my darling child, for God is here with you to make sure you're okay,
He's gonna make sure that you're 100% healthy cause I got on my knees and prayed.
I know that every day is rough for you and the world never seem to cut you any slack,
I hear you as you cry out to me asking why can't I just come back.

I wish it was that easy babydoll, I would be here with you right now,
Not as the faceless angel at your bedside but the physical me would come down.
You have a lifetime ahead of you and mommy will be here to see you live it,
Don't let the negativity bring you down, you have demand respect as well as give it.

Whatever you're going through I'll be walking alongside you each step of the way,
I know it seems the world is weighing heavy on your shoulders but go to God and pray.
You have your father, husband, siblings and family too-they love you just as I do,
Rest for now and when you come around, lace up your boots... you're a troop.

I love you Bobbi,

Love mommy!!!

In Memory of Melvin Labranch: For my bro August Alsina

My twelve year old daughter Amari is the biggest August Alsina fan. She talks about him all the time and I heard her say he lost his brother. I googled the information, grabbed some images and I write:

Death never tweets, FB message, text or hit you up on Instagram...
It comes when it comes leaving you feeling like, "Damn!!!"

It was August 31, 2010 when God looked in the book of life... marking mine completed,
Bullets punched through my flesh as soon as God said there were angels He needed.
I know that losing me is a pain that you will never get over but it gets better,
I look down on you every moment of every day wishing we were still chilling together.

Bro, I'm so proud of you. There's no words that can tell you how much,
I'm in the heaven's jamming too every time a song of yours on my playlist show up.
I lived a wonderful life, each moment of the twenty-four years I was given,
Don't think it ended when I was murdered cause bro I'm in the heaven's really living.

You down there showing out and I'm up here enjoying watching,
I say to all the other angels, "Look at my bro. I know him. He ain't never stopping."
If I could turn back the hands of time for five minutes just to wrap my arms around you,
If I could turn back the hands of time for five minutes just to stay I love you dude.

I miss the family so much and more than that,  I miss my little girls,
Always let them know that to me... they meant the whole wide world.
Tell them I'm right there by their side and by their side I will always be,
Take care of my daughters bro... make sure you do that for me.

I just wanted to send these words to let you know how much I love and miss you,
Know that I stand right by your side through everything you go through.
Know that your bro is truly living... an angel God called home way soon,
And know that no matter what... your big brother is always watching over you.

Love you dude,
Melvin

In Memory of Eddie Kendrick: Love You Aika Kendrick

I saw a post on a one of my Facebook friend's wall about how much she missed her dad, so I write:

God calls us when our purpose on earth is completed.
God calls angels to come to heaven as needed.

My baby girl... I'm looking down from heaven's window on you,
Know that I hear and see everything you do.
Also know that I'm never far when you need to say my name,
My love still loves you all the same.

Though we all wish we had more time when death calls... we don't,
God will never weigh you down with more than you can handle... He won't.
As the days pass and you're missing me more than ever,
Know that I send my love whether it be through the humming birds or weather.

When the wind blows hard, I'm wrapping my arms tightly around you,
When the birds chirp, I'm singing and hoping my song has found you.
When the rain pours, I'm crying tears of happiness and love,
When the thunder roars, I'm screaming I love you... just because.

Aika, words can't describe the way I feel each moment of every day,
God called for me so in the heavens in where I'll stay.
Your father's love will always and forever be,
Aika Kendrick... you are such a blessing that God gave to me.

I look at my grandson with a smile... congrats on motherhood,
You should be very very proud darling... yes you should.
When you look at the clouds, know that I'm looking down on you,
I did not just up and leave... God said I had to.



I love you,
Dad (Eddie Kendrick)

In Memory of Wayne Mills (Friend of Craig Wayne Boyd & Blake Shelton)

I was watching a recorded show of the Voice when I saw Craig Wayne Boyd hand Blake Shelton a necklace from the wife of their friend Wayne Mills who is now deceased and I decided to write:

November 23, 2013 was the day God marked my life as completed,
It was the day He said to one of His angels, "Go get him because he's needed."
It was the last day that I'd have on the earth with all of you,
A day you'd feel lost and unsure of what to do.

Carol, I want to say that you are an amazing woman and I love you,
Whenever you start to wonder, know that my love shines down from above you.
I'm sitting high above those bright skies as all of us angels do,
I'm with you every single morning you wake and as the night fall upon you.

I'm so thankful that God blessed me by bringing you into my life,
So grateful that He saw fit for me to be your husband and you my wife.
I know losing me hasn't been an easy thing at all but God is with you,
I see the tears as they fall and know that my eyes get watery too.

Carol, there are no words that can be written to express my love for you.
Carol, there are no words that can be written to tell you how much I miss you.
Carol, there are no words that can be written to say exactly how I feel.
Carol, there are no words that can be written and I mean that.

Jack, I know my leaving you is something you just don't quite get yet,
You may know that I'm gone but I'm sure you're wishing I'd come back.
I asked God to help you understand and cease you're aching heart,
I know the day that daddy left you, it just tore your world apart.

I'm sorry son that the day had to come where I had to leave the earthly grounds,
I always thought that in every day of your life I'd always be around.
Know that God never make mistakes and on that day the decision was made,
Even though I know it hurts right now, please know that I made it okay.

Jack, there are no words that can be written to express my love for you.
Jack, there are no words that can be written to tell you how much I miss you.
Jack, there are no words that can be written to say exactly how I feel.
Jack, there are no words that can be written and I mean that.

Craig, thank you man for wearing my chain...I really appreciate the love,
Know that nothing you do go unnoticed cause I'm watching from the heavens above.
I know you're still like, "I can't believe it" every day that you rise with the sun,
God said He needed angels that day and that I was the perfect one.

Blake, dude you know I wasn't gonna forget you...how could I good ol' friend,
Thank you to for wearing my chain and know that I'm rooting for you to win.
You and Adam have me laughing hard as I watch from heavenly sky,
Me and all my angel friends be laughing so hard we cry.

I just want y'all to know that there's no need for tears, I'm safe and at home with God,
No mistake was made when He took me that day so tears...I shed them...not.
I love you all with all of my heart, keep living to the fullest every day,
It wasn't me. I didn't just up and leave but God said I could not stay.

Carol & Jack....I love you so much.

Love,
Wayne Mills
