After many years of wine, women and song, I fell deeply in love for the very first time, but she ultimately broke my heart and I remembered looking up in the sky with tears in my eyes asking “Why Lord..why?....but God never answered. As the years moved forward, I began using heavy drugs, so heavy that I put a gun to my head,but before pulling the trigger, I looked up in the sky with tears in my eyes mumbling “Why Lord...why should I live?....but God never answered. As the years moved forward, I became a lawman and met some of the most sickest and darkest bastards ever created in this God's green earth and as I carried a 6-year old girl in my arms, who was hurt and been repeatedly raped by her father, I looked up in the sky with tears in my eyes crying “Why Lord..why should she live?....but God never answered. As the years moved forward, I became ill and as the nurse inserted a needle in my arm, I looked around and saw other people with the same medical condition, if not worse, and as they turned on the machine and reclined me in my chair, I looked out the window toward the sky with tears in my eyes pleading “Why Lord..why should they live?....but God never answered. That same afternoon, the bus brought me home and as they lowered me in my wheelchair, I heard someone from the doorsteps of my apartment say “See Mia..I told you it was Da-Da!” A 2-year old came running and jumped on my lap giving me a tight hug, so tight that it gave me such a warm feeling inside that spread throughout my entire body. I laughed out loud and looked up in the sky with tears of joy in my eyes...then suddenly, I heard a slight voice come inside my head...so slight that it whispered....”that’s why.”
Never Give Up!
