Preserving the Heart

"My heart, my mother; my heart, my mother! My heart of my existence upon earth. May naught stand up to oppose me in judgement; may thaer be no opposition to me in the presence of the God; may no evil be brought against me in the presence of God, may there be no parting of my heart from me in the presence of the Creator, the Lord of the Heavens. Homage to you, Oh heart of my soul. Homage to you, Oh my reins! Homage to you, Oh God who dwell in the divine clouds, and who are exalted by reason of your septers! Speak fair words for the God of life and make me to prosper before The Master. And behold, though I be joined unto the earth, and am in the mighty innermost part of heaven, let me remain on the earth and not to die in spirit and let me be in your light therein forever and ever."

                                                                    Ancient African scripture

                                      When I Die

When I die, I want you to cry - cry as hard as you can

cause the crying helps my soul to pass smoothly

When I die, I want you to laugh - laugh as loud as you can

Cause the laughterrmakes my spirit light

When I die, I want you to sing - sing as sweet as you can

Cause the sweet sounds of your voices make my spirit rise,

and rise,

and rise.

So, when I die I want you to smile, smile as bright as you can -

Cause your smile bring my spirit closer to the warmth of the light,

and return that warmth with a kiss on your check on every sunny day.
