He Is Always There

You may not believe in Miracles
But I for one sure do
I know a man whose life was hell
And followed Satan's dream. 

Through drugs and every  vice you could name
He fit into Satan's scheme
But God just waited and smiled
He knew it was only for a while.

The day did come this man saw the light
Satan let down his guard
God stepped up held out His hand
And took Michael back into His arms.

Not only had he been saved
But God had His own Dream
And Michael fit the profile
In His Apostleship it seems.

Yes the man who had been through hell
Is now changing lives
With his writings he can take you
Through all of the filth and vile

With his poems you will weep 
And see another world
From where many of those we love
Never will return.

He hasn't made any excuses
He admits to it all
That's why in words and actions
He can now stand tall.

With his health he now pays
But his mind is clear
He can walk us through Satan's hell
And prove that God still cares.

Satan's loss is our gain
God works in many ways
Free will can be a blessing 
Or it can be a curse.

Cile this is such an awesome piece. There are no secrets in that God can’t expose and solve. I like the essence of the piece and the theme. There is always light for the world to see and follow. Great job! ~ Joseph

A wonderful tribute to Micheal, Marycile..he will surely feel overwhelmed by your kindness and insight. He has found a path that leads to Devine beauty and enchantment..one that he follows even though it might toss up a few obstacles, every now and then. They are all part of the road's construction. He doesn't waver but still finds love watching from the edges. Extremely well done! God bless you and yours....Mikki :)

Cile i want you to know that I would never be where I am if you hadn't helped me believe that I to deserved forgiveness. My life has changed in so many ways since I joined this site that the Lord led me to. I know that the lord is real because instead of cooking dope and destroying lives I am trying to show others the desperation that life leads to. The love of the Lord gives me strength, courage and dear friends like you. I love you mom beer
