Praise the Lord. I give honor to my Lord Jesus Christ, whom is my comforter in my times of trials and tribulations. Whether it be in my sad times or happy times. On Dec. 27, 2011, I went by my best friend's apartment, Junebug Burkes, and found him real sick. I had to call 911 to have him admitted to the hospital and he is still there to this day. We have been friends for 45 years. I have 2 other friends that are sick with cancer.
But the saddest news I received was Sunday. I found out that Michael Bush died. I was sad because I didn't even know that he was sick. The last time I talked to Michael was a few years ago when he came to my house and we went over to my church to pray together. It's funny how times go by so fast. Me, Michael Bush, and Virgil Jones went to the same grade school, middle school, and high school. Michael and Junebug was with me when I got hit by a car when I was 16. Me and Michael worked at Union Carbide together. Also, we were in a bad car wreck together in 1975 on our way to work. We partied, did crazy things, and runned together. It was an honor being his friend. As I said before, a friend is someone that you love whether they are good or bad and right or wrong. Michael came from a good family, the Bush family. When I read his obituary in the paper, his children can surely be proud that they had a dad like Michael. He was a beautiful man inside and out. No matter what happened in Michael's life, he could always smile :) I know that one day I will see him in Heaven or the new Earth. I will always keep his family in my prayers.

In Memory of those that were taken away from their families
While praying at the side of my bed this Sunday morning after reading about the murder/suicide that happened in the Institute in Charleston, WV in the Saturday Gazette-Mail, it made me want to write because I have 2 beautiful daughters. My heart goes out to the mothers that lost their daughters due to violence such as murders by ex-husbands and boyfriends. In memory of the young lady that was killed at Taco Bell, the young girl that was killed on the West Side with the young man in the car, another young lady and young man was killed 15 years ago or more on the West Side, to young girls that committed suicide because they were teased and bullied, and to women all around the world.
This is my poem............
I was like a little bird in a bird nest with my family. I was learning to fly and I left the nest like a little bird flying in the sky. I was experiencing the joy and excitement of life. I was learning about love and looking for love. Then I thought I met the love and joy of my life. Your house to me was like a bird being in a bird cage, I was like a bird flying all around the house. Then our love for one another began to change and then became the arguing, fighting, and jealousy. Then I began to want to become like the little bird in the nest wanting to fly away to be free again. No, but you didn't want me to be free. So you decided to murder me. You broke my heart, you took my life, you made family cry, and you took me away from my children and my family. But little did you know that God was watching over me. He heard my prayers, he saw my tears, and he gave me the wings to fly away like a bird in the sky. He took me into his eternal life because his Love is life and the light for eternity. So, I say to my family and friends don't cry for me. The Bible says that when you get older to know right from wrong, Seek ye the kingdom of Heaven first.

This Valentine Poem is for broken marriages and broken relationships
Happy Valentine's Day to my ex. You was the cherry and I was the plum. You was the sugar and I was the salt. I was the horse that took you for the ride of your life. You had the right stuff to be the boss and didn't even know it. Some where our love went wrong between us. But now that we are not together, you say I'm a dog. So that must make you the cat? But like salt and pepper, a little on each meal will still make a good meal. So I set you free because God showed me that when I was in grade school that love is what you feel. Now that I'm grown and been in love before, I realize that real Love came down from Heaven with Jesus Christ my Savior. Because God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten Son to die for our sins and on the third day he arose. When he went back to heaven, he sent back his Love with the Holy Spirit with Love and Power on the day of Pentecost for all those that believed and received. On this Valentine's Day let us remember the First and greatest Commandment that Thou shalt love the Lord thy God.
