Lord is my mentor

Lord, you blessed me
With instincts so wise and just
I thank you for your mercy
You have my trust
If not for you, lone I be
On this earth
Without sight to see
You know I’m grateful
Throughout bad times and good
It was all the above, I understood
That you never left my side
& helped me through
My trials and tribulations
Lord, I love you
I thank you for everything
Myself, my love, and my seeds
Who walk this earth faithfully
Guide them with love
As you guided me
So that your legacy of goodness
Will eternally be
Sowed on your lands
Of the human race
I patiently look forward
To meeting you
Face to face

Hopeless and Alone

Jesus, you are my guide
I have questions that need answers
I feel that you left my side
Where are you
I lost you
Come to my rescue
I’m sinking in this ocean of corruption
I stand firm
I do not compromise my ship
The more I fight the winds
The deeper into the abyss I sail
Sharks surround me
Waiting for me to drown
I don’t want to sink, I refuse
But there is a leak
Lord, take me to safety
I don’t know how much longer I can hold
Before they attack again
I feel them tipping my ship
I’m really not scared, just confused
Tell me Lord, what direction to sail
I want to see land again

Prayer for suffering

O Lord, help me through my suffering. I feel so helpless surrounded by chaos. Strengthen my soul and send your Spirit to me. Guide me, for I shall fall without you, though, I will triumph with you.

O Heavenly Father, I need you in my life. If suffering is what you bid me, than suffer I shall endure with honor. O Graceful One, thank you for Jesus, for He alone is my salvation upon this realm of earth. Glory to you Jesus for I shall gladly suffer for your will.

Character Assassin

Character Assassin

He walks through the night
With his sword in flight
He is the character assassin
No heart
No shame
Has no game
Just likes to mame
The integrity of and take shots at your name
Sly and cunning
Are his ways
Turn your back
And he will slice your face
He is the character assassin
Feeds on your kindness
To strengthen his weakness
Knows nothing of meekness
He is just a mole
Trapped in a hole
Without a soul
Imprisoned
The devil has got hold
Of his life and he knows
His mouth is bold
So watch yourself
Stay true and fasten
For this coward is
The Character Assassin

Trapped Soul

Calendar full of tears
Life passes by year after year
Only to miss out on the true purpose why we’re here
The love of your family disappears
You make it worse than all your fears
Scared to live life for you own cares
Not willing to take back your soul
Missing you is your own
Go with them, they love your mold
Unconditionally without judging you when you fold
Or when you yell at them or scold
Their entire being for being your own
Don’t make the mistakes, for you’re told
Of the ones who fell to sin and now is old
Unwilling to repent because they're cold
Hearts are one with yours is bold
Only to lose the life you seek
Which is in front of you
And at its peak
Grasp the hold
Let love be your debt
Not the hole
Which you dig
For you are told
In advance so that you may have the chance
To live, love, be happy, and regain your stance!

Dedicated to a loved soul that lost touch, please, regain life. For we are not promised tomorrow. I love you!

Confined

Night turns to day
Day turns to night
Month after month
Seasons change
But I don't get to feel the rain
Winter turns to summer
What does it all mean
More outside rec-
reation
Just another hallucination
Away from the realization
Of being an animal caged in a zoo
untame, blue
This is all true
Confined

Soldier's march

I refuse to fall short of the prize
I will reign with Thee, no man nor beast
Will break my spirit

Faith keeps me grounded!

How does a man succeed in life with no guidance?
Nor opportunity, no love or encouragement?

Faith keeps me grounded!

For every time I’m beaten down
the Holy Spirit picks me right back up
Some say loser! I say winner!
I refuse to lose

Faith keeps me grounded!

I stand as a soldier for God
I put on my helmet of salvation
I strap on my girdle of truth
I tie my shoes of peace
I wear my breastplate of righteousness
I hold tight to my shield of faith
& I speak with the sword of the spirit

Faith keeps me grounded!

When He comes like a thief in the night
I will be alert, wide awake, & ready
To fight the good fight

Jesus strengthens me with ultimate might
Courage to fight
Faith for sight
Jesus guides me with His everlasting light
The mentality of a knight
Spirit of right
And God holds me tight

Faith keeps me grounded!

Silence

So close, but so far away
Voices in the wind
Separate us
We are one
My stubborn ways
Her lack of sight
Divide us
Visions of romance
Keeps us tight
Her breath against mine
My body against hers
Our passion is might
I betray my soul
She plays the role
Goodnight

scripture on Love

Love

Love is kind and patient,
never jealous, boastful,
proud, or rude.
Love isn't selfesh
or quick tempered.
It doesn't keep a record
of wrongs that others do.
Love rejoices in the truth,
but not in evil.
Love is always supportive,
loyal, hopeful,
and trusting.
Love never fails!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

That passage is from the Holy Bible. When I was asked what love meant to me, I couldn't have said it any better than that. I just sit back in amazement of how profound and true that passage is. Only a true man of God could be responsible for that scripture. Just marinate in that scripture for a while and let the goodness be absorbed.

My Crest

I walk through the shadows of brethren elite
Survive is the name of the game for the meek
They devils in disguise trying to delete
My name my fame forever to sleep (Humanity put to sleep)
Not in rest, but in great jest
I outcry to my Lord for relief of this stress
If the suffering you bid me is Your Will Lord
Then the stress that I digest
Will be consumed by my chest
Spit out through my vest of dignity, honor,
And that my friend
Begins my family crest

Footprints

Footprints

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints; I don’t understand why when I needed you the most you would leave me.”


The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

“Hive”

As I’m awaken from my dreams by unordinary beings
They hypnotize me with their eyes so that I can not scream
Unable to put up a fight
Elevated in flight
Through my window I go, only they and I know
We are in my backyard as they point to the stars
Hovering over us is an object of glow
The purpose they picked me was to better society;
as they communicate telepathically
“Only if you agree, you can go to the stars man has not yet seen”
As they trick me in my utmost vulnerability
I agree
We float through time & travel through space
I search desperately
For another soul of the human race

Hello people! Welcome to my blog. The title of this blog is "Footprints" There have been times in my life where I felt that hopeless and alone. It was at those times that I was given the strength and will to succeed even more through my faith in God and His grace! My first blog was titled "Blue Soul." I wrote that piece when I was twenty years old and in incarceration. At the age of 12 years old my mother was diagnosed with cancer and only given five years to live, max. I never had my father in my life. So it was only natural to be a misfit. (I mean, come on, how do you think a child will turn out with no father in his life and his mother on her death bed.) However, I always had faith in Jesus and God the Father. When other boys and girls my age had questions and/or needed advice they would turn to their fathers. Well, I didn't have that opportnity, so I guess that's why when I needed advice or help I always prayed to my God. That was the only father figure I have ever known. When I was fourteen I was so depressed, for my mother was so deathly ill, that I don't remember a day passing by where I didn't cry to my Lord for help and to heal my mother's body. I guess that is why I tried smoking weed. Right after that I realized I needed(or thought) money to live and supply my weed habit and started to sell the drug. One thing led to another and three years later I was arrested for selling drugs. Throughout that time, even at my lowest points, I always prayed to God and I never questioned my faith, for I knew He was always with me. I just chose to do wrong when I should have done right. I felt so hopeless and alone that I buried my pain with weed and sold drugs to pay for it. By no means am I making excuses. I was wrong and should have went to prison. After going through trial for two years, and had many chances to avoid prison by getting a job, I finally pleaded guilty and did my time. November 6, 1996 is a day in my life I pray that I will never forget. That is the day I started my sentence and rightfully so. That was my reality check that was most definetely needed. I thank God for that time in my life. The time I spent in prison was mostly consumed by push-ups and reading. I read the New Testement about fifteen times front to back, Mathew to Revelations, in a few different versions(N.I.V, The Contemporary, Free on the Inside, The New American). No Joke! I also read most of the Old Testement as well. I never finished The Old Testement but read most of that part of the Holy Bible. The New Testement and the teachings of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was my hand book on how to be a man and Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. During my time in prison I also wrote alot and had much time to think of my life and where I wanted to be present and future. Those writings will be posted as well as new ones periodically. So please check out my blogspot often. This is my soul spilled out on paper. I pray that my writings, prayers, and anything else for that matter on my page will somehow help out another. Feel free to e-mail me with comments and questions. Enjoy and may you go in peace!

Blue Soul

“Blue Soul”
As a youth laying in bed I always prayed
‘Lord have mercy,’ thinking,

why did you have to curse me?
Why me? Was it really necessary?
Not she!
The one that was always there for me, took care of me,
Truly loved me for me
Dammit! I would give my soul for thee
Take it away and give it to me
While rivers of sadness flows through my eyes
I didn’t realize that it was a blessing in disguise
That I could not see
He already planned out my “Destiny”
The crossroads He chose for me
Is it going to be Hell or Blessed Eternity?
All I can do is wait and see
In the mean time I’m stuck in correction of facilities
Praying, “Jesus, forgive me!”
By the way nurturing Begetter, I’m sorry
Never in your wildest dreams, not for one second
You thought that this would happen to me
After all the struggling, suffering, and fighting
that you did for me
Not to mention all the positive and good examples

that you set for me
I can’t believe that I let the ‘evils’ get the best of me
But when I get out, I’ll be the man I was meant to be
Damn! How much it hurt me to see you in agony
And how much it hurt to realize

that this test was meant for me
I’m sorry you went through the pain and not me
So when the Son of Man’s light shines from the sky
And He walks the Earth to bless His children
We will be blessed
100 billion fold more times than gold
Mom, Thank you for being my mom

I could never imagine anyone in your place

and wouldn’t have it any other way
You are the nucleus of my soul
That is why my heart shines like 100% Pure Gold
“Dedicated to the most precious Soul in the World”
