wrong number

When you're strong enough to live through your past
Yet, it won't stay where it belongs
The nightmares have began
Making me feel alone
The wrong person got called home

what I leave

I originally wrote this poem for my kids ahead of time for my last words of encouragement to them upon my dead. It is everything that my mom would say as well, so I am going to read it at her funeral tomorrow

What I leave?

What I leave?

I wanna leave you pieces of me

When you dream your dreams

Travel, life, and journey

Remember my legacy

Reach for the things that you imagine are out of reach

The sky’s the limit

But, don’t let the sky be your limit

Space is sufficient

God is omnipresent

Never miss ‘em

Read and learn

It’s your turn to

To make a name

Pursue a gain

Your calling

Don’t be embarrassed of falling

Pick yourself up

Dust yourself off

It is a beautiful view at the mountain top

Never accept failure

Never stop

People are fake

And at the end of the day

They will leave you all alone

When things don’t go their way

You may detour but never stray

Ignore the negative things ignorant people say

Hold your head up high

The devil is a lie

Don’t be afraid to ask God why?

What I leave?

I leave you joy, peace, and happiness

And to my children, friends and loved ones

I’m still very much alive

God bless
