I Don'T Believe He Brought Me This Far

I graced the world with my presence establishing my character to have substance I became the apple of GOD's eye I accepted it never asking why when I was four a couple things happened one that was life threatening and another where i was forced to see a life taken away before my very eyes it caused me to ask GOD for a precious son much to my surprise I felt I owed it to the baby boy who lost his life so tragically at the hands of my sister in my teen age years I almost lost my life again because I fought for my brother's honor I didn't regret it because it was an honor I did not know that I was capable of fighting for someone I love even if I went about it the wrong way because a love so profound will come back to me some day being introduced to life on the other side of the track that my mother tried to shelter me from costing her to bend her back it was a jungle a battle to be fought a war to win biting, scratching, resulting to sin I endured a life at an early age that almost cost me my life even my mother's when she came to find me I bereted her but she only answered lovingly "When it comes to my child I 'll go any where." I served thirteen in a half years in prison for a crime cdommitted because of an addiction GOD saw me through without a hestation Never once leaving my side when I sought him out he accepted with arms opened wide I don't believe he brought me far to leave me he does this lovingly with an uncoditional love from heaven above
