      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      With My Running Shoes On - Mrs. Norketa Herron-Ackerson

      WITH MY RUNNING SHOES ON

      Norketa-Mageisha Q. Herron-Ackerson

      UnitedShadesPublishing

      DEFENDING THE GOSPEL

      Through the storms of life

      And confrontations not predicted

      I will rise and tell

      Stories that haven’t been depicted

      Strolling down the street

      In a city that I roam

      Can surely stop to speak

      ‘Bout a place known as my true home

      When I go to work

      There’s no reason to be shy

      No problem saying

      God’s the center of my life

      While I’m here to shop

      Let me tell you ‘bout the LORD

      He holds more power

      Then any weapon to be formed

      On my way to school

      Can’t wait to tell my teacher

      I received the answer

      At church
