Firecracker

Firecracker 

It is time to let go time to move on, must dance a new dance, even if I dance alone among the moon ,stars and the  Sun. 

Firecracker is also another nickname she goes by is flame queen, one who dreams of earth, one who loves the doors and breathes to  study of Queen Elizabeth the first she looks up to Queen Elizabeth as her role model as someone she would want to become as though. She may never have a crown to wear on top of her head and become queen of a country. 

Queen Elizabeth, the first she dance, one victory of rewards, trying to read enemies loved, learned mother, her kingdom prayed, and God answered her and protected her.  

As firecracker close the book she was reading about a mermaid that fall in love with the prince.

Ah! It said Joan never found her true love now even sad that the prince denied her, but it was all messed up. I truly wanna her to marry him. He was a mermaid goddess that lost her love to another. That is terrible. I would speak and fight right beside her shaped a very bees out of the prince for him to see that she was the one. A lovely story. It  can be looked at as a lesson of love stories gone wrong. 

Her mother spoke to firecracker and explained to her the deepest of love and what so important when you love one another and she mentioned, though for some men, they are blinded by beauty, and sometimes beauty can be fatal, and some men fall into that trap, but there is a price of very high price to pay. 

Many books of love story stacked up on her desk, some that end in horrible endings. Show many worlds to explore in the books with no pictures are the best ones to bring you the best of imagination to life.

Although some days firecracker likes to play through the forest with shadows that reflect  the trees souls. And her imagination, can grow wild.

And she spoke softly, she said to the forest if you move in the wind, you’ll find its dance. Her best friend popped out from the bushes to scare her. Firecracker lets out scream, but starts jumping up and down, excited and happy as her and her best friend dance together, enjoying the moments together as best friends do. they begin doing their hand clapping game and they repeated it three times and each time you repeat it you must say really fast faster than fast tic-tac-toe. Give me a high give me a low  Give me a three in a row. Don’t get shot by a UFO.  

Fire crackers, mom call her over to the house. Tells her she must prepare to make a small snack for her neighbors. Her neighbors are new and we must introduce ourselves to them and be kind neighbors and welcome them into our neighborhood.. 

mom leaving her to the neighbor’s house as mom introduced them to the neighbors. Firecracker was a little shy, so she hid kind of behind her mom as the neighbor‘s son was in the doorway. He stuck his tongue at her and just gave her the dirtiest look to give firecracker gave him a snotty look and hid further behind her mom. 

In the kitchen

Firecracker playing with her thoughts. our old neighbors moved and we introduced ourselves to our new neighbors. Now the next part. I have to figure out what to make for them for a welcoming gift. so I thought to myself if I could just ask them, what’s your favorite pie ……wait?….. I will surprise them and with her bubbles of thoughts. of pie or a store brand pie or a homemade pie. homemade pie is done by scratch let’s see the crest comes first then the filling. then another layer of crest. Ohhhh don’t forget the topping.  some berries on the mountain pie …..wait…..

maybe I should do cookies but I always burn them. Then the cookies are not a good idea. They stick it against the wall. brownies turn out hard as a rock. OH MY! As I buried my face within my hands. Worried! Last and hope. YES! MUFFINS! yes, I do a wonderful job. I can make amazing muffins but now I must chose what the muffins go into a jar, a box, a plate or a glass something picturing inside my bubble thoughts as I hop up and down frantic! what do I put them in a glass bowl with a lid? AHHHH! ….*SIGH…..* see that wasn’t so bad! 

Mom told firecracker.She  will make the muffins and it’s OK for firecracker to go outside and play. Firecracker eyes grew wide and big and confused. She looked up at the ceiling and she just took a deep breath in and said OK mom I’ll let you do the muffins and firecracker walked out of the kitchen, heading out to the yard to find her wonderland. 

As firecracker, spinning circles, dancing within the fields of grassy lands. She began to quote herself all the things that are wonderful about flowers. flowers to be gentle to flowers. Sing to  flowers. to read the holy Bible to flowers and maybe they bloom faster. as firecracker watches spring takeover It’s time to bloom. as you rest flowers into grass where ladybugs enjoyed Drinking from a raindrop. They to need water. the ocean stop right at the surface. never going beyond and only through storms, the ocean, powerful waves reshape the land that is called the beach. 

Oceans and lakes

Oceans and lakes are reflection of nature, depending on the time of day, like the trees, mountains, clouds, and the sun. Waterfall does not show reflection of nature, but the waterfall creates a miracle of a rainbows.

Mountains

Mountains are the giants that are fossils of millions of years old if we could know how old mountains are their secrets are buried within them and maybe one human can discover their secrets of legends. 

Forest

Or mysterious of trees, that legends only told stories they do not move, but they are alive. They are Air Supply. in the forest a Playhouse for so many.   Trees tell secrets of enchanted poem, stories maps, and our compass read us to our destination. Through many wars and battles, the trees have been a shelter, a hiding shelter in our future families to find freedom within the forest. It has been fought, bought and protected for the future.

The sky

So many dream of flying through the clouds. A blue cloudless sky to build fly machines to sore through the skies. a cloudless day to invite the sun to lit the moon. as sunset sets. the stars and the moon invited us to see the hands of creativity of our Majesty.

Snow

The tree is covered with blessings of pure white snow. A ground  filled with snow. a playground for young and old. a moment thankful for the supply of wood for our wood stoves a hot meals to serve our families. while the snow fall. It’s cold winter. But blessed to stay warm.

Spring flowers

A flower that blooms into was only on our planet that is perfection as it opens like a rosebush will bloom only roses.  and a magnolia tree will only bloom magnolias. It’s just beautiful like every woman that has lived,  love, and fought war. nurse healing soldiers to life, a flower will always be its kind, but women are not all the same. They are human. women are stronger than many women from the past. we can be free, single and graceful, no matter how our hands are rough. we women can be soft, lovable, and fierce, and we bloom just like flowers. we are all different, shaped different, speak different, love and laugh different and we live a lifetime. We woman bloom. we leave our story to be read by millions. we once lived. we once bloomed. 

The next day the journal

Mom bought me a journal. I was so excited I dance on my tippy toes doing my happy dance. I ran to my room, placed it on my desk, a few minutes later drooling and staring at the page of blank page. I don’t want to mess it up first words all right here we go we’re gonna write our words, dear Jesus …..no…. I crossed it out, dear Moon. No, I crossed that out too then finally dear God..

Dear God, I poured out my misery and repentance to God. I prayed in my journals and expressed myself my issues, my daily activities, and the love I loved of his creation, 

dear God, 

spiders why did you create such horrible creatures I hunt them now. 

But I love ducks how they eat, sleep, walk.  they’re the Sweetest birds Why don’t they fly? I absolutely adore the ducks by the pond.  always wobbling towards us for bread and fruit and vegetables. I absolutely adore those ducks.

As firecracker praise again to God. Writes in her journal, she says dear God, thank you for your grace and mercy. as a short 14-year-old teenager with a pixie layered bob haircut to a point. Pretends to be a queen. A goddess. A pirate. Let so young. Discovering herself. as life flashes, fast seasons, change. years go by. each prayer becomes more powerful and she learns how to pray for others. how to pray through spiritual battles. to live and to learn. Five years past. firecrackers red hair grew to her waist. She dresses up in her armor as one would prepare for battle. Playing dress up. Firecracker and her best friend holding their swords up as imagining a war that is pretend. she “quotes poetry and then kneeled in prayer in church “quoting scripture Ephesians chapter 6 verses 10 through 20. 

Ephesians 6:10-20

King James Version

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

As she hears the bell from her house, the lunch bell rings, mother yells dinner as she stumbles walking in her armor. She makes it home for dinner along the path the forest bright with sunshine shining through the leaves that are orange, yellow and red golden evening. fall. it’s time for that year again pumpkins on front porch and pumpkin pie. Turkey, cranberry sauce, collard greens, turnip greens, potato salad, mashed potatoes, apple pie, curry, pie, homemade cake, cakes, ham, green beans, casserole, and so many other delicious dishes that you are going to miss out on, but at our table everyone’s invited and we welcome all . It’s Thanksgiving day. 

As a car stand firm throughout the year firecracker and her family praying in peace at the end of the prayer. Her father quoted. Joshua chapter 24 verse 15. 

Joshua 24:15

King James Version

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Where the country we live in is freedom God bless America
