Poem
God bless those who are the readers of these words Well God bless the people that read these verses or In this passage our truth be told from my experience these are the facts and the truths that should be shared in our life's Or in my younger life I thought death was wrong But you have to be taught it comes from sin and within all that you have to be taught and shown It was through Adam's disobedience that has left us Forever physically tattered and torn Are no longer can the physical body live eternally forever It must not be separated from the spirit and go back to the dirt the clay In which it was made For if we honor him my God, our God Choose and choose to make the right decisions We will not be imprisoned we will not be enslaved And left in the firery molten burning blazing Hades For the first death the separation from the spirit and the flesh is a journey it's not the end When repented of one sins and you're born again it's a new beginning of a new Journey So when you relinquish oneself you are Heavenly blessed to live eternity But the almighty Creator Jehovah-jireh my Lord and King God who Reigns Now a songwriter said I may not be the best but I am blessed He goes on and says give me what to say in thine own special way I want to feel your spirit move inside me And for as long as I live I want to give I want to live for you on word and forever and always Place my past Generations through death whatever I'm to be sad about I've seen my mother-in-law gasp her last breath and she died there what am I to be sad about 2016 lost my wife of 40 years she died what have I to be sad about 2017 lost my job of 25 years what have I to be sad about Got blessed with another job at a different locale different business But on August 11th 2017 they to cited like the job of 25 years called a for a staff reduction And yes some may feel that this hurts And that I was treated like dirt But what have I to be sad about No wife very very few friends No job no income a few bills a mortgage What what have I to be sad about Lost the next door neighbor a brother a friend he was murdered by him ex convicts a father and son My neighbor my brother my friend is named was John Francis flying Murdered and killed was his wife toddler son and his niece What have I to be sad about My mother died when she was 39 She never met or got to know her daughter-in-law or her grandchildren Whatever I got to be sad about I have been impoverished but never poor I've been mentally enslaved but never ignored Doors have been closed physically but never spiritually I've been up and down but never stayed on the ground I've been lost but now I am found what have I to be sad about Never been sick or sickly I rebuke cancers none of that in me I have been seen but I'm ignored But in the name of Jesus not anymore Been bankrupt un and underemployed as I said earlier just lost my job As you read the words you may think it odd That I can say what do I have to be sad about what do I have to be mad about What do I have to be glad about But my whole reason of being Is to share my testimony I may be alone but I'm not lonely I may have lost my job but I got some money I have a house lay my head a place to sleep in I got to bed I have a reasonable portion of good health strength sound mind I'm not ill I am healthy My test is my testimony now I'm going to end this verse these words and to some others this rhymes don't want to be too long and bore you about my going on I just leave you with this thought What all of this negativity going on in my life What about got to be sad about If you see me in person I'll still rejoice You can see the light in my face and you can hear it in my voice I've I lost a lot but I still got my life And with that all I have left is ... I got Jesus Christ AMEN Written by James Edward Lee Sr 2014© 8/15/2017 From the forthcoming anthology " Actually Happening My True Testimony Reality" (To be Christ like you MUST Go through sufferings and trials and travails just like Jesus did No pain,No gain No trials No crowns. :D. )
