Ebony Love
I could never draw you for you are too perfect.
I could never forget you , to do so would be the loss of life
I could always count on a hug from you to make life feel less cruel
I would always smile filled with a joy when you flashed those pearly whites.
I always knew you are a star , so special the thought of loosening my grasp
I would gasp for air , share you with the world? Will they treat you like fine china ,
Or bubble wrap you with every move , will they appoint five trained guardsmen in the five directions to protect Our Golden Child .
I reached to the heavens and saw from the sky the lights of heaven beam down
I felt the calm while seeing the fear , for this God I do not want , when he spoke
I understood although no verbal language was used . I cried , and I grieved and
I smiled when you looked at me , my love for you my son would not allow me to be silent so I talked in our family language, only sentences completed in our connected minds . You responded , yes mommy I know , and to your sisters you used your smooth nature to put them at some amount of ease any your brothers will carry your spirit into manhood . Once life has started it will never be undone just like energy that is life , it is transformed to the next where ever that be , it never dies . Christopher will live in your hearts forever . That breeze that dries the tear falling from your face , that bird that keeps singing to get your attention , that giggle you hear when you know your doing something crazy but hilarious , that little voice that says mommy don’t cry is hugging you and his gigantic heart smile and wings flap and close around his family singing melodies from heaven , rain down on us
To my friend , my sister Ebony ( Kool Aid ) Miller l love you girl my prayers are with you and your family
