Boys To Men Read Count : 112

What are the odds of me crossing paths with two men on opposite sides of the world whose life journey are somewhat similar in consequences, yet different in circumstances? I'm thinking it is hardly unlikely. Yet, fate made it happen.

They both made a noble choice with the intention to help someone in need. That choice, had caused them to lose everything in just a blink of an eye. As a result, one was sentenced to life in prison, while the other was imprisoned in life.

However, like Lenny Kravitz said, "It ain't over till it's over." They both have a good shot at starting over.

Starting over can be exciting, and it can also be scary at the same time. Picking up the pieces and stepping into a world they once knew is like stepping into the unknown. Anything can happen. Adapting and adjusting is like learning old things in a new way and though it sounds easy, it can sometimes be quite tricky and hard. And if things do get a little hard, I hope they will not be disheartened. I truly believe they can and will make it through to the other side.

I hope they never forget how far they've come. I hope they never forget everything they have gone and gotten through. I hope they never forget all the mornings they got out of bed no matter how hard it was for them to do so. I hope they never forget all the times they wanted to give up but made it through another day. I hope they never forget how much courage and strength they have gathered and developed along the way. Most of all, I hope they never forget this....

The years have rolled by slowly,
to get you to this place,
you're not the young boys you once were,
the miles are in your face.
But the journey's made you stronger,
I know you will rise above,
no, you're not the boys you once were,
your heart's been touched by love.

Now the time has come for freedom,
you're knocking at the door,
no, you're not the kids you once were,
nor will you ever be once more.
Yes, the light is shining clear,
the door is open wide 
no, you're not the silly boys you once were,
because you have grown inside.

    What makes this so incredible, Zee, is that you literally reach into peoples lives with your talent. This is totally amazing because it is true, and sometimes you never know how much of an effect you can have on a heart unless you try. Then again, maybe you do know, which is why you take the time to get to know people. I am a life that was changed, and I Thank You.
