“My Daughter Your smile like the sunshine your laughter in the rain I would give all of me to have you back again. The Lord took you home that day now, the missing part of me at times feels so empty there’s days I can’t believe. I dream of your precious love How it’s missing day to day my angel went to heaven while I knell down to pray. Praying for strength dear Lord and her laughter in the rain keeps me strong enough each day until I see her once again. Poem dedication”

“You are in hell and there is a bridge in front of you, the other side is heaven! Do you know what the name of that bridge is, my dear friend? The name of that bridge is wisdom! Only when you use your wisdom will you move from the hell zone to the heaven zone! And what is wisdom? In its simplest definition, it is to understand life and universe in depth by using the mind and emotions at the highest level!”
