Beauty of the Month<br />

<strong>Annie</strong> <strong>Bell</strong> <strong>Suluki</strong><br />

May 2022 I<strong>ss</strong>ue


Her Life’s Journey<br />

A Legacy of Character, Strength, and Faith...<br />

Her children rise up and call her ble<strong>ss</strong>ed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but<br />

you surpa<strong>ss</strong> them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of<br />

the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.<br />

–Proverbs 31:28-31<br />

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not<br />

so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you,<br />

I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.<br />

– John 14:1-3


If Flowers Grow In Heaven<br />

If flowers grow in Heaven<br />

Lord, please pick a bunch for me.<br />

Place them in my Mother’s arms<br />

and tell her they’re from me.<br />

Tell her that I love her and mi<strong>ss</strong> her,<br />

and when she turns to smile,<br />

place a ki<strong>ss</strong> upon her cheek<br />

and hold her for a while.<br />

Because remembering her is easy,<br />

I do it every day,<br />

but there’s an ache within my heart<br />

that will never go away.


In Memory of My Mother<br />

You were a precious gift from God above,<br />

so much beauty, grace and love.<br />

You touched our hearts in so many ways,<br />

your smile so bright even on the bad days.<br />

You heard God’s whisper calling you home,<br />

you didn’t want to go and leave us alone.<br />

You loved us so much, you held on tight,<br />

till all the stregnth was gone and you could no longer fight.<br />

He had called your name twice before,<br />

you knew you couldn’t make him wait anymore.<br />

So you gave your hand to God and slowly drifted away,<br />

knowing that with our love we will be together again some day.<br />

Rose Garden of Memories, My Grandmother<br />

In my rose garden of memories, I see you standing there,<br />

An angel in disguise, Who taught me how to care.<br />

I long to hear your voice for real - not in my dreams.<br />

I am mi<strong>ss</strong>ing you so much these days. How empty my world seems.<br />

People say time heals all wounds, that someday the pain will subside,<br />

but Grandma, I can tell you I think they must have lied.<br />

The emptine<strong>ss</strong> I am feeling now is strong and I am weak.<br />

These days go by without you, so dreary and so bleak.<br />

In my rose garden of memories I know you'll always be,<br />

for though you're gone from this mortal world, in my heart you'll always be.<br />
