My soul lies deep within
me, my God speaks to my
heart. He told me when I
was a child, that I'd have
a holy spirit head start.
I was deceived by the devil,
he came as an angel of light,
the drugs made me feel on
the level, they kept me up
through the night. In 1988
I was locked up, my
drinking had caught
up with me. I did 90
day's in the kitchen,
some things were not
meant to be. After 70 day's I
completed, my time behind
bars and walls, I was finally
ready to leave there, I could
almost hear freedom calls.
When I was released I
was happy, but I had
nowhere to go. So I hit
up a friend named
George Baker, at first
he just told me no!!! Finally
after I begged and pleaded,
George will you just let me
stay? I promised I wouldn't
be any trouble, he let me in
by the way. After two
day's was a problem
he said that I had to
go! it was 2 o-clock in
the morning, by then
I was hurt, feeling low.
I said please let me stay
till the morning? he just
said fine, go to bed! I went
back to my room feeling
worried, if I had a gun
I'd be dead. The room
was dark and cold there,
I said God what do I do
now? in an instant the
room was a glowing, the
peace that I felt was just
wow!!! In the morning I
grabbed my belongings,
I headed out up the road.
In my heart I felt joy
like no other, it was a
light easy load. I hitched
a ride to the next town,
I saw my old neighbor
and then? he gave me a ride
to the ferry, he was a God
fearing friend. I made it home
to my family, with open arms
they invited me in. It was my
chance for a new life.
Where do I even begin?
