Malik saw a lot of his relatives.
When they were brought from their prison cells.
He always thought that he would end up there as well.
He would steal and rob.
This kind of behavior made his parents sob.

Then one day a minister took him under his wing.
And taught him how to do godly things.
From that day on, Malik became a good man.
Because for him, the Lord had a better plan.
