God saw you getting tired,
He did what he thought best;
" He put His arms around you,
And said, "
Come and rest."
He opened up His golden gates,
On that heart breaking day;
And with His arms around you,
You gently slipped away. 
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
A part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

 
As you hold me close in memory, even though we are apart,
my spirit will live on,
there within your heart....
I am with you always.


When you lean on
trusted friends and their
caring hugs enfold you,
within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you....
I am with you always.


And beyond the far horizon
when we'll finally be together,
where love will be eternal
and life will last forever....
I am with you always.

Black children were the best behaved
children in the world, now look at them
Time out my foot!!!

1. Have you ever been called downstairs
from upstairs or the back of the house, or
from the front of the house to get the remote,
change the channel, or bring her a glass of ice water?

2. Have you ever been hit with an extension
cord, a switch, or the nearest shoe?

off the tree and she sent you back because
the one you picked was too little?

ear with a straightening comb?

or knuckles with a comb or hair brush?

or I'll give you something to cry about while she beats
you with a belt ~ pronouncing every syllable,
"Did-n't---I---tell----you---not---to-do--!--- That---no --- more?!"

7. Your ponytails or plaits were so
tight, you got those little bumps around you scalp.

(principal, secretary, etc) were afraid of her?
