when its time to say goodbye"
"He was only 14 born with a hole in his heart but it seemed like he lived ten lives of all
the hurt and pain.
On this earth for a very short time god only knows the pain he felt inside he put on a
smile and had fun
for a while laughed and played,showing he was normal , he was brave, he passed one day
when god came
took his pain away, Leaving his friends and families with happy memories to share filled
with sunshine and laughter
and tears of memories of his smile now i know one thing he is our angel looking down on us
I say this to everyone
say" I love you " to those you love because you never know when its your time too say
Goodbye"
dedicated to robert john white your angel now you were too young to die

In a riot of colours using brushes with valour,
Many movements he started devoid of pallor.
From a town called Malaga,far off in spain,
Pouring his heart out,unloading his pain.
What a journey he started from conformity parted,
To paint till the last,until he departed.
Many have aspired and wanted to be,
Including your's truly,I say why not me?
From erotic nudism to new found cubism,
His loss to the world left a wide open chasm.
How God made him great,I never could fathom?
But thats the way I guess God wanted to make him.
Although the years rolled and went passing by,
Another painters yet to reach for the sky.
I'm telling the truth and not telling a lie,
I'll love only Pablo until that day when I die.
I know he had friends,some straight and some gay,
But all I want to say today is....Happy Birthday.
PS.It was Pablo Picasso's B'day on 25/10/09 and I dedicate this poem to this
mentor and inspiration of mine.

I love You Lord with all my heart, body, and soul
You are my Savior and You are in control
My mind, O Lord, belongs to You
I want to live how You would have me to
I place my life in Your hands
Watch over me, for I am but a man
Whom You created from the dust
So please protect me from worldly lusts
I will serve You God with no fear
Give me eyes to see and ears to hear
I glory in trials and tribulation
In You My Lord is my expectation
I will meditate on Your word day and night
Because You, Heavenly Father, are my Guiding Light
So here's my heart and here's my love
Watch over me from heaven up above
I will live according to Your word from day to day
In Jesus Christ of Nazareth's name I pray
Thank You Lord for my life and health
I will always put You before myself
You are my Father and Best Friend
I will serve You God until the end

Going through obstacles of all sorts. Not even holding that famous torch. People do it
everyday. From standing up to a bully at school, or even saving a child from a pool. Courage
comes in many different shapes, colors, and size. This word shows no discrimination when it
comes to mind. Courage is my great- grandmother. I love her and she cannot be compared
to any other. She taught to hold on and grit my teeth to the end. Also, not be selfish to family
or friends. I hold these things and many others I hold dear. Even though my great-
grandmother has since left this earth I know she’s near. Watching me and praying that I
keep holding strong. God is with me and I’m not alone. Keep on going, that’s what she would
say to me, and by God you will have the victory.
Today I had to let you go...
God has come and taken you home.
To me,I prayed that it wasn't true
How could there be no more you?
As I cried and prayed to god that
He blesses me with memories of us.
So go and dance on the satin clouds
And sing with the angels...
I agree to give you to god
As long as your memories carry on...
I LOVE YOU FOREVER ....

Today I smile upon my plight
Praise God I’m in the mood to write
I feel like a dog with a big juicy bone
Like the other Michael Jordan I’m in a zone
This morning I awoke and I could see
I’m making my own mark in history
I’ll never have his wealth or fame
But I add my own style to our name
I’m less like him and more like the ball
It’s my nature to bounce back when I fall
I gotten years of flack over the name
Because I’m a true fan of his game
He is pure poetry in motion
Like the waves rolling in off the ocean
And God gifted me the ability
To freeze that motion in poetry
Dedicated to the man that made
my name famous. What a truly
amazing person he is. What a
gift to the fans of basketball.
