Sheโ€™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. Iโ€™ve known my wife since she was 13 and I was 16. Sheโ€™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 Iโ€™ve worked hard to become. My transformation didnโ€™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. Thatโ€™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 whatโ€™s ahead.

 

For Michelle, With Love

My love for you is more than true
Words canโ€™t explain my feelings for you.
Iโ€™m still your lover and I hope youโ€™re mine,
So when I get out, we can have good times.

Lifeโ€™s not a breeze, and I must confess,
Your sweet, tender love is the very best.
Of all the girls Iโ€™ve ever met,
Youโ€™re the one I wonโ€™t forget.

Of all the lips Iโ€™ve ever kissed,
Yours are the ones I truly miss.
If I go to heaven and youโ€™re not there,
Iโ€™ll wait for you by the golden stairs.

And if youโ€™re not there by judgment day,
Iโ€™ll know you went the other way.
And just to prove my love is true,

Iโ€™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.
