My life, oh my life, is graced by
you, who taught and inspired me to look at the

past to construct my future; letting me sail, with you 
on the warm river of your heart that 
each day I learn to ignore rejection. Ah,
this is why I love you!



--
from my heart to y’all, who made me what I am now....

Sometimes I sit and think of if my life was planned before I got here. Or did i 
make it this way. Sometime I wish I could turn back the hands of time and erase 
the mistakes that made me what I am today. Was it planned for me to be the way 
I am? Or did I create the way I act? Sometimes i wish God would take me to ease 
the pain...

rain is coming
I got wet in the rain
There is no one next to me
You suddenly came with an umbrella
You took me to the end of the cafe
You invited me to a coffee
We talked a little
You made me crazy,i am calm down
The world slowly became beautiful for me from that moment
Now every moment tastes like the moment of drinking coffee...

She is my hero
Without her I wouldn't be here
If it wasn't for her I don't know I would be
She made me who I am
She is always there no matter what kind of trouble I'm in
She will do anything for her kids
She helps me with my work
She teaches me right from wrong
She will die for her kids
She love me for me
She is my mom and I LOVE her...

MAN
I am a man
brown skin as an African American,
and yet God made me who I am.
My blood is clear until it explodes in the air, 
I have two eyes a nose and a mouth,
I live physically as well as spiritually,
I praise and pray to the Lord continually.
I am a man

The day we met
Frozen I had my breath
No ocean so deep 
Could contain the serenity I felt

They say love is in the air 
But it's running in my veins
Well I know it's little cliche
Yet you made me what I am today

Now it may be dark
But honey just wait for the stars
The horizon will kiss the breaking dawn
There wil be our forever no matter how far......

if i didnt have you
what will i do?
if i didnt have you
where will i be?
if i didnt have you
would i see the world differently?

im liking what i see
im liking what i feel
dont want this to go

if i didnt have this i wouldnt know what to do
i just want to say thank you
for this unconditional love

my family and friends the people who made me who i am today...

tonight i realized.
in the midnight sky.
that i need you.
you are my light.
I sat alone in the dark for so long.
Now i broke away. 
but here i sit again.
Were you really the one who broke me free.
Who set me free?
The one i love.
Could it be.
You are the answer to everything i need
You made me who i am and will be.
Something more than a fantasy.
You became a part of me....

if it makes you active 
then it is poisitive
no matter where i will be
i'll try to keep that in mind
if it makes me active
then i see no reason to quit
i've been through a lot of stress 
because of hangin with the wrong crowds
the drama they pulled back in the day
has made me who i am today
i try to stay positive 
activated by the best weed
that brings me closer to my talent...

You are here, there and everywhere,
You know what's on my mind
You hear my voice, my genuine plea,
Your Promise, 
So Divine,
You know my misfortunes, 
My weary will,
Your advice:
Please be still,
Your road is rough, 
Still be tough, 
You are going to win,
Your comforting words soothed my mind
Peace of mind I did find,
You made me what I am today
YOU ARE, 
YOU ARE, 
YOU ARE...

I wish I fit into your lives.
But we grew up so differently.
You tried,
To be there for me when we were kids
But I didn't know how to let you in.
I made myself appear strong,
So you wouldn't see me breaking.
It felt as though,
That is what you needed.
You will never understand,
The pain,
That has made me who I am.
And for that I am grateful,
But I know that means
We will never be close....

Why do people live in the past? That's probably why relationships don't last.
Live in the present and towards the future
You dwell on the old because it's all you know.People do sometimes learn and grow
Maybe one day you will learn that everyone has skeletons to hide.Even you have made mistakes,but who am I to judge? I am not God and neither are you brother
So just remember what you said and I will never bother you again...

Rough and weathered,
yet tender inside,
they have been through it all,
with nothing to hide.

Experienced for a lifetime,
they work day and night,
taking care that everything
is always right.

They caress me with love
and console me when I am sad,
they teach me to behave,
and punish me when I am bad.

They have kept me alive,
and made me what I am today,
I wish, I pray my mother's hands,
with me will forever stay !...

Working toward my purpose 
who I am God knows me 
He made me who I am
 and I'm who's I am in Him
Where I am 
I am here
 Where I'm going further in God 
Working toward my purpose
 I want to be around 
When my Father's Son comes down
 I've grown beyond the surface
 I'm working toward my purpose 
My Father says I am worth it 
Working toward my purpose

If it is change I want to see in the world,
I better start with me.
I need to let go of my past
and set my soul free.

The struggles in my past,
have made me who I am today.
I’ve done things I’m not proud of,
I was lost and wandered astray.

Today becomes yesterday
and in a cycle it goes.
My ambition to become
something more grows and grows.

All I've ever wanted 
was something to live for.
I don’t want to feel 
insignificant anymore....

I WALK AROUND WITH A BACKPACK FULL OF MEMORIES, DOZENS OF PICTURES, AND MOMENTS CAPTURED IN MY HEART AND MIND.

I WISH I COULD RETURN TO SOME MOMENTS, AND THERE ARE SOME MOMENTS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EASE FROM EXISTENCE.

MY EXPERIENCES HAVE MADE ME WHO I AM, A UNIQUE, EMOTIONAL, LOVING, AND CARING MAN.

THE BEATINGS THAT I HAVE TAKEN FROM LIFE HAVE MADE ME A STRONGER, VIGILANT INDIVIDUAL.

I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW WHO I AM........

Listen to poem:

Sixty years flashed by in one big blur
A life with scatterings of luck and good times
No, I certainly can’t complain ~
Obstacles and challenges made me who I am today

Could have tried harder but harbor no remorse
I figure I’ll be ready to face my Maker
But till then, I’ll strive to live at least a few more years ~
Long enough to compensate for wasted time along the way

If I could turn back the hands of time I wouldn't change a thing. My past has made me who I am, and helped me be the person God Yahweh has created me to be. Through the gift of God Yahweh, I have been given liberty through the redemption of my sins, Yeshua, my Lord has given to me, and all humanity. The journey I have taken has brought me to my destination, and one day will lead me to my heavenly home....

I shine the light that chases away the dark
I am like the train that breaks through the silence
I hold the Word that is stolen by the desperate
I bring the special warmth that binds the relentless cold
I am unfathomed by the mastery that holds you
I work to battle the evil that lies
I am made strong when I am weak
I am still here, I never left
I am again still here, I won't leave
We'll be okay, have no fear, peace be with you, no need to worry....

i wonder when will all these nightmares come to an end
i breathe but i'm not happy
i just fight with everybody i come across
what i see in their eyes is mock and ridicule
i feel weak,not to speak to my dearest ones
what is it that made me who i am today?
is it my past or my ambitions for a bright future?
it's clear that my future is not promising 
it's because i turned down the only thing 
that many people think it would have made me 
the man they always wanted me to be...
