My Baby Doll
You were without doubt the best dog I've ever had.
Your death has broken my heart and I'm very sad.
When I named you Agnes, I named you after my late mother.
I was your owner and you and I had a lot of love for one another.
You were my Chihuahua and you were an Applehead.
It tore me up when I learned that you were dead.
You were pretty with dark brown fur and you were small.
You weren't just a dog, you were also my baby doll.
I owned you for almost seven wonderful years.
I found you dead in my kitchen and it drove me to tears.
What I'm about...

Happy Birthday, Mom - Part VIII
When you died, I was devastated and didn't know what to do.
If you hadn't died, today you would've turned seventy-two.
The love that I felt for you was special and it knew no bounds.
My heart was broken when you were lowered in the ground.
If you could hear the words I'm saying, I'd want you to hear me say "I love you".
When you died, My days were filled with unhappiness because I was so blue.
I grew inside of your womb until I was born in August of 1971.
You were spectacular and it was a privilege to be your son.
I suffered when you died and it's...

Agnes, my Chihuahua
On July 11, 2020 my Applehead Chihuahua dog passed away. Her name was Agnes. She was nine years old. I found her dead about 10:00 PM. I was about to go to bed but immediately knew there was no need to go to bed. When I found her dead in the kitchen, I knew that I wouldn't be able to get any sleep so I stayed up most of the night.
I adopted Agnes on August 27, 2013. My ex-friend and I were out looking for me a Chihuahua dog. As she put gas in her Durango, I made a decision. I decided that if the dog I found was a female, I would name it after my late mother. My ex-friend and I went...

The Loss of Lena
It's with great sadness when I say that we won't see her anymore.
Lena died in March of 2020 and she was born in March of 1944.
She is survived by her husband who is my Uncle James.
Losing such a special person is sad and it's also a shame.
James Greene Junior and Sharon Redmond are her two children.
After living for seven and a half decades, she has gone to Heaven.
She died just twenty-four hours before her 76th birthday.
Her loved ones are heart broken because she passed away.

Becoming a High School Graduate
I dropped out of school on August 29, 1986 at the age of fifteen. When I dropped out, I made myself a promise that I would get my high school diploma at some point in the future. I received my high school diploma in the mail twenty-five years ago today. It was a correspondence school that cost me about $400. I became a high school graduate a quarter of a century ago.
I had to study for over two years to get my diploma. I began studying in April of 1993 and I finished in June of 1995. No, it's not a GED. Many people make the mistake of thinking that it's a GED, but it's not. It's a...

I'll Be Sent Straight To Hell
My wife and I both worked at a video game store.
They closed and we're not working there anymore.
They closed their doors because of this damn Coronavirus.
We're unemployed and no other businesses are willing to hire us.
We got our twelve hundred bucks from the Government but we had to pay a hospital bill.
We're in a sinking boat and it's going down fast, I wish that the Coronavirus wasn't real.
Our families and friends can't help us and we need cash.
I'm so desperate that I'm about to do something that's rash.
I need money because I'm out of a job. ...

Half Over
The year is half over, today is the 30th of June.
The first half of this year went by pretty soon.
In just a few days, we'll celebrate the 4th of July.
Firecrackers will pop and bottle rockets will soar into the sky.
Because of this damn Coronavirus, America has been gripped with fear.
I certainly hope that things will get better during the second half of this year.

Drinking Rubbing Alcohol
My cousin's sister died four years before he did. She died in 2015. She was addicted to a prescription drug. Her name was Christine. I don't know what kind of pill that she was hooked on. All that I know is that it was a prescription drug.
She was unable to get the pills and she did something that wasn't smart. She believed that drinking rubbing alcohol would be the same as taking the pills. She drank some and it killed her. She suffered tremendously. She didn't die immediately though. She lived for a few months and then she died. I don't know how much she drank but it was enough...

Stolen Ford Truck
A jerk thought he was being smart when he stole my Ford truck.
But he didn't know that it had no brakes and he was out of luck.
I removed the worn out ones but I hadn't gotten around to putting on new brakes.
The thief soon realized that stealing my truck was a bad idea and a huge mistake.
When I saw that my truck was gone, I called the cops.
When that thief was driving my truck, he couldn't stop.
He was in big trouble because he drove off a cliff.
One minute he was alive and the next, he was a stiff.
His family blamed me for not replacing...

John's Funeral
My cousin's funeral was one year ago today. John Brown was buried on June 8, 2019 at Meek Cemetery in Bean Station, Tennessee. I was unable to go to his funeral because I didn't actually learn about his death until June the 16th.
John did drugs and sadly, that's why he's dead. For any kids who may be reading, Stay away from drugs! John died at the age of forty-eight. While forty-eight isn't young, it's still too young to die. John should've had many more years to live. But because of his drug use, that wasn't possible. John started out smoking pot and eventually started doing worse...

If He Would've Had The Courage
He did drugs for many years and he finally had to pay.
Because of his drug use, he died one year ago today.
He overdosed last year and sadly, he could not survive.
If he would've had the courage to say no to drugs, he'd still be alive.
When he first started, he smoked pot and later did worse drugs like Meth.
He grew up around the wrong kind of people and that caused his eventual death.
On June 3, 2019, his family and friends had to say goodbye.
If you also do drugs, stop it or you will also eventually die.
