    About this ebook

    This book was written while I was in jail from October 24, 2003, until January 4, 2005. I wrote these poems about my wife and how I felt about her and our marriage. I also wrote for other inmates to send to their ladies. As I wrote, I reflected on my mistakes and mostly on God. I wanted this book to capture the essence of true love and forgiveness. This book is about never giving up on anything you care about. Work hard at accomplishing your goals. Put your right foot forward as they say, but I say trust God and you can do all things through Him.

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      I DON’T think I’d describe myself as a perfectionist. Yes, I do push hard to get things right and I expect the same from others, but I don’t spiral if things happen to be different from what the textbook says. As I’ve grown older I’ve realised there’

      Never give up

      It’s hard living this life

      I’m losing my wife

      And days full of strife

      I’m losing control

      Trying to reach my goal

      How can this be?

      Everything’s against me

      It seems no matter how hard I try

      I just can’t get by

      I wonder is my life a lie

      On my face my tears burn

      When will I learn?

      Where will I go?

      To ask questions when I don’t know

      I seek love in you

      A meaning to life that’s true

      And get back the love I once knew

      You’re my wife

      And I’m not giving up on life

      No matter what you do

      I’m not giving up on you

      Now you see

      How our love can be

      Never give up on me

      When Your Dreams Die

      (Dedicated to my poetry)

      When you have no one to hold

      When your heart turns cold

      When nothing goes your way

      When you have nowhere to stay

      When you’re on your own

      When you’re all alone

      When you lose your wife

      And think it’s the end of life

      When you lose your gilding light

      When you no longer want to write

      When people constantly lie

      When your dreams die

      When your dreams die

      You die

      When I Die

      I hope
