Yesterday

Today we celebrate another angel earning her wings. As she walk her way into heaven she will tell Jesus about each and one of us. God knows each and one of us my name. So as the tears fall down I'll faces just know that she's safe in his arms. Loving arms. March on my sister in Christ. And I heaven rejoicing. Love you cuz u r going to be truly miss. Until we meet again.

I was sadden to hear of my cousin Shelia passing. I love you cuz for always. Thank you for the time we spend together. So I decide to write a poem special for you. A Mother. A mother is like no other Always there one time or another. To help you thru hard times. To give you her last dime. To keep you on the right track. To make you hang your clothes on a rack. A mother is something we need. A mother is a friend indeed. And that's what my cuz was. Rest in peace cuz in God's hands. AMEM
