James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Dramatic Verse

A Gift- -

Old Dad 
I'm glad you had given me 
a gift 
You gave me 
How to save money 
You often said it's not what you earn 
But it's what you do with what you get
a gift
O dad you gifted me provision a good provider 
You made in my Eye Site righteous decisions 
Worked for what you needed and want 
a gift
O Dad, you giving me your name
a gift
a roof a home a bed to lay in
a gift 
And if I could live my life over again 
I thank Father God for making me your son
 a gift 
A family time against all of us 
Living together a grande provider
On welfare never on welfare
Co-Creator of my life
O Dad
a gift 
Of always working
Never lazy,  sick or laid-off jobs or work
Oh,  you are the special gift you were 
You were on passed on 
Now yet he live on in My Brother and Me 
My Lord God 
My savior my Earthly mother and father my mom and dad You are that gift

.......a  gift
