Come with Me

God saw you getting tired

And a cure was not to be

So he put his arms around you and said “Come with me”

With tearful eyes, we watched you fade away

Although we loved you dearly,

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

A beautiful smile at rest,

God broke our hearts to prove

He only tales the best

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want

He maketh me lie down in green pastures;

He leadeth me besides quiet waters

He restoreth my soul;

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his names sake.

Yea I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil; for you are with me your rod and thy staff they comfort me.

You preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies

Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever, and ever

- Psalm 23

Kenyatta….

My first born,

I love you with all my heart.

You and I were best friends and we always looked out for each other.

You had my back and I had yours, we had EACH OTHER!!

Through thick and thin we were all we had here in AZ

There was nothing that could keep us apart.

I will never forget your last words to me.

“Momma let me go! I’m ready to go home”

I didn’t want to but I accepted your wishes.

So I gave you back to the Lord.

I will continue to LOVE YOU

Now and Forever

Love, Mommy

Oh Brother !!!

You were always the one to say that “without proof you can’t judge me”

Well Bro I have the proof that you were something special!!

I love you from the bottom to the Top

Rest Up… You Won

Your Baby Brother, Bodie
