Bedtime (Prayer)
Lord Jesus Christ,

when i was younger, growing up in the projects, never
in my wildest dreams did i ever think of being an
entertainer. All i wanted to do was play some hoop and
chill, at the Boys Club.

But Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Ralph, Brooke and Travis
"The Original Family" somehow changed my mind in a
special way.

10 years later, Johnny ed the family, which to me was
a blessing in disguise.

Now, Bell Biv DeVoe, another extension from the mother,
what more can i say lord, but thank you.

Please give us the wisdom to make the right decisions
on this go around.

With loving thanks to my mom, Shirley; my grandmother,
Margaret; my aunt, Diane; my uncle, Bobby and the rest
of the Bivins family. And a shot out to my man Kenny
Anderson (Georgia Tech) - a nasty ball player.

-Mike 10-
