God, Pain, And Love

God, Pain and Love, the story, begins in Tampa, Florida. I was born the son of Laura Rogers, a.k.a. Candy. Yes, my mom was in the streets before I came to be. I''m the brother of six, four boys and two girls. My mother did a great job on us despite the ups and downs of life, and I''m grateful to the Lord for being there 100 percent of the time without my knowledge.
I had the tendency to touch things that didn''t belong to me, and it led me to a life of crime: jails and drugs and trouble. My family were the spiritual type. You know the type who goes to church five days a week.
I truly believe that if I didn''t have the people God placed in my life at the exact moment and time he did, I truly would not be where I am today--in his care.
God has allowed me to find the things that are for me, and I am blessed to be able to give back in any way that I can. My Father has blessed me with this gift of spoken word poetry, and as you continue to read, I''m sure you''d agree.
Love has a way of taking us on a roller-coaster ride, but we have these pains and aches that interfere with the fun. Please don''t give up on your dreams. All one need to do is open our eyes.
