I had so much to do for Him,
But yet, He could not wait.
The dreams, the love, I had for Him,
Could not deter my fate.

My mother, my family, my friends,
Seeped in sorrows.
For they were apart of
All my tomorrows.

How could they comprehend
The depth of His love,
As He watched me drown
From His throne above.

Now I know all things,
Concerning all the whys.
My dreams are being
Fulfilled, before God's very eyes.

This is the reason an
Early death came;
I'm now in His presence,
I'm now being trained.

This is my purpose,
And oh how so great!
Please understand why
He could not wait.

In memory of Antwoyne Edward who drowned last year. He was only 21.

Through my cloud.
Touch my secret parts
Where only you are allowed. - Joyce Rogers

Yes, we on earth do not know the whys.
Only will we learn when he takes us home.
Very good.

sadly I know about young people being taken before their time, in tragic ways...but God knows best. It's what you have to believe.

Heartfelt expression, joyce...God does have His reasons for everything, however. It is the one thing to hang on to when everything else makes no sense...thank you for sharing with us...

Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...
