God, Pain and Love, the story, begins in Tampa, Florida. I was born the son of Laura Rogers, a.k.a. Candy. Yes, my mom was in the streets before I came to be. I’m the brother of six, four boys and two girls. My mother did a great job on us despite the ups and downs of life, and I’m grateful to the Lord for being there 100 percent of the time without my knowledge.I had the tendency to touch things that didn’t belong to me, and it led me to a life of crime: jails and drugs and trouble. My family were the spiritual type. You know the type who goes to church five days a week.I truly believe that if I didn’t have the people God placed in my life at the exact moment and time he did, I truly would not be where I am today--in his care.God has allowed me to find the things that are for me, and I am blessed to be able to give back in any way that I can. My Father has blessed me with this gift of spoken word poetry, and as you continue to read, I’m sure you’d agree.Love has a way of taking us on a roller-coaster ride, but we have these pains and aches that interfere with the fun. Please don’t give up on your dreams. All one need to do is open our eyes.
