This book of spiritual and uplifting poetry is first and foremost a blessing to me; because I was blessed to be given the task of speaking over others loved one upon their translation from time into eternity.
Death is a strange and peculiar happening and God has deposited into me a unique gift that I wish to share with families near and afar. The individuals noted in this book are those that I have eulogized except for those in the pages of Dedication, some of them I knew personally, others were personally connected to me through a family member.
Many times, as I sat with families, they spoke of experiences and happy times and I then incorporated them in a poem personalized for them. After I have completed the Divine assignment of preaching a funeral service, I recite the poem.
Often it is received with laughter, tears of joy and instances of remembrance of the good times they have experienced; ergo releasing their minds of the reigns of sadness, that to me is when in the spiritual lungs of those left to cherish memories receive…Fresh Air!
