If I didn’t know my age
I would be an old soul with bad eyesight.
But from within the vibrant beat of a warm connection
I truly can hear my inner voice
and feel the openness of my thoughts
that I need to release.
Every time I stand up for what I believe,
it’s friction.
But my soul loves.
And that allows the truth
to separate from Earl
so I can see it from both lenses.
How can love replace fear
when we fear what we cannot understand?
What comes to my mind:
keep living what God put in me.
Giving gratitude, passion and love.
Not leaning on my understanding,
but my source, who is what my soul is.
God. Love.
When your message is what you’re living,
That’s unique in itself!
wow, Earl. Made me smile, man… beautiful!
You are an old soul, and you shine teaching from it. The world is a better place because you are in it, take care you don’t give too much of yourself away.
Amen and Amen – thank you for sharing this!
You are a free sprited old soal open with your thoughts and feelings.
We love you for sharing.

Earl, this is beautiful. Thank you for putting your experience into words and sharing those words so openly. We are blessed to receive what you are giving!
I knew when they drafted you and okung you guys would be seahawks royalty!
What a gift your faith is – thank you for sharing it!
LOVE it! My whole family is thankful for you. You are a wonderful mentor for my football playing, learning-to-be-godly early teenage age grandsons. Thank you and God Bless you and your family.
Exactly. This is perfect put into words. Good luck today, four hours until gametime.
Very beautifully spoken from the heart. Bless your guardians/parents for raising such a beautiful person. Inside and out. You appear to be the most doting Dad an awesome teammate. That would require a well rounded person. And of course none of that without God 1st! You shine and continue to bring a smile to my face, thank you for being you.
This is one of the reasons I love the Seahawks the whole team is filled with Renaissance men. Warriors and learned men. Earl I love that you write poetry. It is beautiful. OK
From one “Old Soul” to another: You represent us well here in the NW Earl. Such a Beautiful Dude…Go Hawks http://jeffsmariners.com
Yeah Earl! That’s beatiful man. Gratitude, passion, and love. “Not leaning on my understanding,
but my source, who is what my soul is.”
Beautifully expressed in poetry, Earl. This is one example why the Seahawks are more than football! We’ve got our eyes on you.
E.T. “Area 29” I wish you all the success and blessings that the Universe has in store for you. Continue to work hard and embrace your passion, love soul and uniqueness! The only person that can get in your way is self! Never give up and always BELIEVE which is an acronym for “Best Ever Living Individual Evolving Very Excellently”! God bless my brother!
Ron “Kwiet Storm” Smith:)
Beating in the heart of God is pride and love for you, Earl. Keep going little brother. You’re on the right path!
