John 3:30
As a Family we can; build, educate, create and in unity fight together. And if one of us hurts; we all hurt if not heal each other.
The Family assembly functions in different rolls & personalities. They all possess their own strengths and greatness in works. First the matriarchs Grandmother & Grandfather's listen to them they will guide us in wisdom. Second, they broke the mold by birth of Mom and Dad these two will always come running for their children; right or wrong.
The disciplinaries of All ages in races of sons & daughter's. And finally, The Gate Keepers is the Uncles & Aunts whom blessed us with those rambunctious & influential cousins. And yes, grandchildren they are the recipe to our bloodlines.
We can admit it are not; God is a genuise. In planning for us not to live in this life alone. Without one another to propser on earth..
And one day when life does happen. And one of our heartbeats is no longer around. We have one another to celebrate, heal & love on each other.
I know some families are broken. Some families are glued together for life; no matter the curves balls they dodge, or serve up in a good fight in this life. Neither one in these familes is really ever prepared to say Goodbye.
I remember when my only child, my only son was born. I could not wait too see who he would grow-up to be. Strong, smart and handsome. And one day he had his own creations of him. Is when I fell in love with all of them. Then at the glorious age of 28 his life was stolen.
One day a good friend loss a child, seventeen years of age out of the blue; she said I'm not feeling well, and 2 days later she was gone. One day in highschool an entire family in the neighborhood lost 7 children in a house fire. For years I could see their little faces in my dreams. I was just a child myself.
Today, an 11 year old smart young lady, was a child to the mother who cried out loud on television. She was our matriarch in the family. And I looked forward to celebrating her birthday. But today I was not prepared to accept why; my 11 year old daughter committed suicide.
We would like to be believe marriage means forever to each other; but no one is expected to understand why forever is not always the; reality of life's circumstance.
If you stuck on the color of skin or glass houses we live of judgment in. Believe it or not we're in worser shape. For not heeding to the lyrics, life & life's experiences. Humanity get it together.
Thank God our stories are not the end of God's plans. For one day our children grow & grew up. Then had their own children. And some of these children went to college, blessed in a God arranged marriage, if not taken away out of immature selfish behaviors, by brokenhearted people, resentment in another human beings choices if not life called roll again; as families continue in celebrating welcome to this world if not another farewell of all kinds. It's the Letting go, that is not going to ever be easier; for none in humanity.
