I know a great woman, a woman who’s taught me how to be a man. A woman who’s heart has shown me the way. This woman’s love has no boundaries for my soul, she sees me with perfect eyes, she holds me with tender hands and she molds me with strength and honor. This woman I tell you, has the courage of a Spartan soldier, yet filled with Christ’s compassion, will go to the end to see my faith fulfilled away. This woman I tell you…this woman is my Mother! Brother don’t deny it I tell you!

I think of myself at the end of the day and sadness fills up my face for I see an empty soul in the dark and alone...what is wrong?? I think of myself again next day, early in the morning and a smile fills up my face. I look over my shoulder and I see you by my side with the sunshine in your face...what a wonderful mate!

Come to me, let me whisper some kind words in your ear...let me hold your hand and feel your pain, let me be the one to ease it away. Come closer and feel my chest, feel my heart beat as one with you in the rain…let’s get together and learn more about each other for life eternity and ever!

I look from within searching for an answer to all this pain and suffering…I see dark, I see a shadow, I see nothing…I see me alone in the corner dying slowly. My soul cries out, my body ages irremediably, my heart aches uncontrollably…I suffer. I look at the sky as if I wanted to be lifted away I want the heavens to open and carry me out of this world but a tear falls down my face reaching for the ground as if it were anchoring me to the earth…I just can’t go away, not yet...unfinished business, unknown places, a lonely woman that awaits me..not just yet, I will wait with a smile on my face!

My friend…a year has been since we saw you part away, a year has been since we lost a great friend. God I can not understand your reasons but I will assume they were legit. We miss you dearly and we will mourn your passing away, know that we will remember you and celebrate your life every day. I still remember those days when we shared a few drinks and laughed away. When we all got together on a summer day and rejoiced with a volleyball game. You seemed very tough as if you were made of iron but when we needed a friend you softened like an angel. You showed me what I’m capable of, you gave me direction, you molded me into a better person…You were my mentor, my inspiration…you were my friend. There is so much I want to say but that just wouldn’t be fair since we all know you never craved attention so I will just say one more thing…that we all miss you!
