to the artist who knows how to touch people. | Posted May 04, 2010
i like the artist michael w smith because i've
been through so much in my life, and he tought me
how to hang on a little while longer. through
many songs such as "help is on the way" and "hang on" he's tought me how to care about people who live in poverty. my life is nothing more than a waste of peoples time i thought... until i
heard him speak and tell everyone that God will
come and deliver us. God is the most important
thing to me in the world. now above even my own
family i love michael w smith for what he's done
for me. now my mom is going through a divorce and
we are all happy it'll be over shortly.but i
remember nights that i cried myself to sleep for
a month. because jd (my want to be father)left
us for another woman. he was clean for a couple of months, and i felt like i had a father. but as usual my heart was torn out. after a month of bitterness i couldn't sleep and it was four o'clock in the morning, so i decided to go take
a shower and have a little cry. by the time i got done freaking out in my head laying almost parolized in the bathtub i could barely get myself together enough to make it back in my room at eight o'ckock that morning. when i looked up
i saw on my bed some cds i had laying there so i scooped them up and started to slowley flip them over one by one. even though i was frustrated with life i opened my cd player and put in what i thought was The Judds, but out of
the speaker came a mans voice. i was too tired and too out of brain to switch the cds back so i just layed there and listened. when the songs kept going on and on coming one behind the other i felt my tears begining to dry and then i heard the song that inspired me the most, "help is on the way" i looked to see what album i had put in and flipped thru a couple of them and found the face of a smiling man. i wasn't used to seeing people smile.but i've dragged this out far enough, so i will close by saying...thank you michael w smith for being a big part of my life.
you still are...i loved you then and i still do...thanks again for teaching me how to smile.
