A few days ago a little girl died at the age of 5. Young, innocent, and with the potential to do or be anything. This is my 3rd summer in Charlotte and each one has brought me into closer contact with death. The first was a minor car accident that left my car unusable, the second was a major wreck that should have killed me, Thank God im still here today. This summer it was her death, as I sat there and held her hand in the hospital the only thing I could think of was why? Why take her life? Why let it happen, she was so young...just why? Every time a person comes in contact with death it makes them think something different...It gives you a different perspective on things. Life is too short..too short for bitterness, too short for pettiness, too short for the bickering, for the drama, for all the bad things. If only we would value every second we have here just a little more the world would be a better place. As a people, and im not just talking the black community, im talking about everybody! If only we would do better...As a writer, a poet, a young black man, as just a man, I dedicate my life to valuing every second spent here and to making the world a better place...
Somethings got to give...

Loosing anyone is heartbreaking, but loosing children is especially heartbreaking. I lost my brother when i was a child, and he was only a baby, a baby full of potential, full of hope, but full of pain. So God took him from the world and nurtured him to health in heaven. God's will shall be done, sometimes causing grief, but ultimatley easing the pain of the suffering. Ill keep the family in my prayers. Be strong!
Bless you, That was beautiful family you have a guardian Angel looking out for you know

I recently lost my uncle and I was devastated. We were close and shared many of the same traits so there was like this special link that bonded us. It was so sudden all I can remember was that I was upset at him for something small and I never got to hug him or just laugh with him one last time. Grudges are something awful to hold because they hinder you from forgiving and being able to live. Its hard to get back to life because life has changed, but it's just even harder getting back to that changed life when you know those you love can be snatched away so suddenly.
