Going To Be Forever

I look unto the wall I see the health heavy handed pictures level straightly upon the wall I asked myself really I wonder which one of these first child soon fall is a shadow waiting standing over here behind me as he whispers in my ear trying to excite me but now I am truly not impressed because I'm going to be forever There is a small hill in the valley and a tree stands there alone among the dried out dunnage and I often wonder where is the rain there's not enough snow for the roots of the tree to follow if small withered branches leave no chances as the so few leaves leave and I conspire I admire what little shade I have to see and again I am not impressed because I'm going to be the best live out my life most earnestly and now I passed the test I am going to be forever blessed I am a traveler lost in the village the village of Earth in this universe and no one can fathom nor even imagine why I must live in this curse and faith is my mission is the only condition that I must rehearse so I gather up all my praise cuz that's all I need that's all I have left these days don't need no material thing don't even need my natural body or when my time is call it's coming in all I'll come running as I latch on to my saviors hand and in this Vision I would have risen to hold Jesus hand and to walk in the New Jerusalem 09/04/17 Written by James Edward Lee Sr
