They say there is a reason

They say time will heal;

Neither time nor reason

Will change the way we feel.

Gone are the days we used to share, But in our hearts, you are always here. The gates of memories will never close; We love and miss you every second of every day.

Our precious money, baby boy, you know you hurt us. Our heart is broken, but we know you are protecting us.

Forever our guardian angel

Till we meet again.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

A Poem to my “Mani-Man”!

You were so very very special from the very start

We held you in our arms

But mainly in our hearts.

You have gone to play with angels in Heaven up above

Although you were with us for just a little while you left special memories that will live forever in our hearts

All our love, Hugs & Kisses, Granny Karrie

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.”

Psalms 34:18

To My “Mani-Baby”

Granny misses you so much. I won’t be able to pinch and squeeze those fat jaws anymore. My heart really wasn’t ready. I know that you are smiling down on your mommy and daddy. Please watch over them and protect them. I know that you are with your Heavenly family. You are not here physically, but you are forever in my heart. Your uncles, Poety and Unique, will know all about their nephew. We will always have you in our minds and our thoughts. I really enjoyed the time God gave me with you. We love you and will miss you dearly.

Until we meet again, Granny Myeesha, Uncle Poetry & Uncle Unique

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalms 23

It’s been 6 months that you been in my life. Your smile was the most beautiful thing and I know you’re still smiling.

You Great-grandmother, Kimla
