She’s always had my best interests at heart, and I thank God every day for bringing her into my life.
I am not my crime. It took time, painful self-reflection, and a lot of hard truths before I could say that. I realized I have something positive to offer my wife, my family, my community, and myself. I’ve known my wife since she was 13 and I was 16. She’s always had my best interests at heart, and I thank God every day for bringing her into my life. My deepest desire is to get out of prison and be the man she deserves, the man I’ve worked hard to become. My transformation didn’t happen overnight. I truly believe my story can encourage others to change, too. All journeys begin with a single step and I kept placing one foot in front of the other. That’s how I got to where I am today. I will continue to move forward not forgetting the past, because those who do are doomed to repeat it but focused on the future, because positivity shapes what’s ahead.
For Michelle, With Love
My love for you is more than true
Words can’t explain my feelings for you.
I’m still your lover and I hope you’re mine,
So when I get out, we can have good times.
Life’s not a breeze, and I must confess,
Your sweet, tender love is the very best.
Of all the girls I’ve ever met,
You’re the one I won’t forget.
Of all the lips I’ve ever kissed,
Yours are the ones I truly miss.
If I go to heaven and you’re not there,
I’ll wait for you by the golden stairs.
And if you’re not there by judgment day,
I’ll know you went the other way.
And just to prove my love is true,
I’ll go to hell to be with you.
So Michelle, if you love me,
Please hear my plea
And wait until these people
Finally set me free.
