Christopher, a sophomore at Alameda High School, is presently working on his first book of poetry, to be published soon. His first poem, "A Strong Man To Be" written at age 14, was published by The National Library of Poetry and is in the Library of Congress. Active in sports, he plays baseball, soccer and is being trained in karate and judo. Christopher says, "I express myself through my poetry and people listen when I read it." He wants to reach the young through poetry, to enable them to see the light in a world they see so dark. |
GraceLife is very wonderful, it's the decisions in youreveryday life that choose whether you win or lose. If you choose God, I sought the thought that you'll be bought by evil and its tricks. It's what you pick that will stick, because you reap what you sow. If you pick good you'll glow, if you pick bad you'll moan, I believe it all just a repeat, just like the story of Adam and Eve, the apple and the tree. But God shouldn't have to blow a horn to show you the right door. You'll be see'n me dropping to my knees saying please and begging for mercy. Cause God gotta let the people know what time it is, or they'll never shine again. You hear about murder and crime everyday; and every night I pray to the Lord to Bless my soul and to take control. Cause no one knows when it is time to go. There's only one life to live and I give my all to God, but with the demons scheming, even He knows it's hard for me to do it all. And so He awaits for me to give Him all my love and my compassion. For death is not sad but a passing on and leaving behind all the bad. Moving on to a greater place where every space is filled with love and grace. |
