                                                      AFTERGLOW

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done, I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when this life is done.

This letter is to let you know that on January 4th, 2023, I moved. I received notice from GOD, the chief architect, who informed me that my new mansion was completed and ready for me to move in immediately.  You all know that for the past few years, I have been sending up my  timber, packing up my bags and getting ready to relocate. 

There were some minor touch ups and finishes that had to be done with the timber that only the Chief Carpenter, Jesus the Christ could do. Some of the touch ups had to be discarded, and redone, while others were just right for the project.  The final coating to be added to seal the cracks, was to get my family and friends ready for my move, without them.  

Well, now that my new home is finished and ready, it is all so beautiful, a sight to behold. It is located in a very exclusive gated estate with pearl columns, streets paved with gold and every day is like Sunday.  I've lived in many communities before my new home was prepared, and none of them can compare to this.  

There is peace, joy, and happiness here, with no more pain or fear, strife or discontent. There is only sweet serenity everywhere, I can go on and on about my new home, but I have to go and get fitted for my new wings.  So let me give you all MY NEW ADDRESS;              

                                                               VERLIAN HARRIS
                                                                    111 GOD'S CARE AVE.
