James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Dramatic Verse

Notes About The Poem

 

 

I Think I Need a Wife-

Future tense
I think I need a wife 
to finish out my life
 I have one life to give
 for Christ God and me

 before I leave this plane 
agreed i'm about to love again
 the thought of a lonely broken heart 
No longer fits the part

 parts of me says No Way 
no woman would want to have a time of day
 in my loaning aloneness life 
again I think I need a wife

 my first the only girlfriend 
this girl I met when I was 18
 I  courted and dated her was amazed 
that she gave me the time of day
 
Past tense

 I had have no low self-esteem 
I thought I was still in a vision a dream
 she accepted my chase 
she stopped the race
 
I proposed to her and she said I do 
42 years of blessedness married with 3 children 
and one day God said 
come home daughter and she left this plain

Present tense

 and back home to her Father 
I vowed before I leave this plain
 I need to love again 
the thought of a lonely broken Heart

 no longer fits the part 
to finish my life I have one life
 to give for Christ God and Me
 I think I need a wife
