Poem Title:
Poem
Now I was born in the last century Dorn into a world of diversity And I've grown into this sinful sphere Full of disappointments, savagery and fear Now my parents are long gone dead Just me and my brother of the immediate family alive left... And I'm prayin for longevity of life Even through heartache suffering and strife Oh! Lord let me be more than More than a memory Lord help me, help me be more than a memory Now I'm living on the other side No longer married cause my wife died Considered elderly but I'm just as young as God makes me feel And I've grown into this sinful sphere Full of disappointments, savagery and fear; Reaching out further having no appeal Oh! Lord let me be more than More than a memory Lord help me, help me be more than memory Allow my legacy to go on and on and on Up until You come. . . Many think not of me Some don't ever have time for me Never bother to call or even come visit me Some don't even have time for me You see, everyone's got their own families (0f there own) No one wants you if you can't keep up No one loves you unless you got enough (money and material things) So don't remember me, be apart of me Be my embrace be part of my cause Don't let go, let God Don't base your lifetime of loving me base on a memory Won't you come and be apart of my legacy Don't let me be Let me be more than just a memory 08/30/17 Written by James Edward Lee Sr.
