A Man Called James

A MAN CALLED JAMES Jesus had a brother named James I have a friend whose name is James The brother of Jesus was an author My friend is an author too James the brother of Jesus Wrote a book many years past My friend James is a poet Who writes poems that will always last While their writing styles differ greatly Their message is somehow the same Be a follower of the Master Jesus Christ is His Name So follow the advice they give And life will be better --- you'll see They point out how you should live And where you can spend eternity Written this 28th day of April 2018 in honor and tribute to my 'Brother', James Edward Lee, Sr. Not only a great poet, but a true man of God.

A wonderful tribute to James Edward Lee, Sr., Curtis. Appreciation and gratitude I think go hand in hand and your poem brings this home along with having a deep respect for James as well. God bless you and James. :) ~ Artsie

wow, what a wonderful poem you wrote for James Edward Lee!! Has he not seen this? It's really a great analogy you created! (I have noticed many poets happen to have the name of James!)

Curtis, I had a really lovely sixth grade teacher too. For her, I got confidence in myself because she thought so highly of me. Did you hear of Tim Ryerson's passing? It is in a blog. Did you know that sweet man?

Glad to know someone else had a great sixth grade teacher. We could certainly use more like that in the classroom today. In answer to your question, no, I didn't know Mr. Ryerson but if you endorse him, he had to have been a truly nice person.

Thank you, Line. James and I, though we've never met, have formed a truly wonderful bond through Poetry Soup. I must one day write a poem or perhaps a book revealing the many friends I have made on Soup. Your name, of course, would be there. You have been so supportive and encouraging to me --- a real inspiration, and I appreciate it greatly.
