I'M a Survivor

I'M A SURVIVOR  By James Edward Lee Sr.


I am not of them
 I'm a survivor;
I've fallen, but yet I'm up again
 I'm a survivor;
You taken away my job;
Twice this year;
Yet I still smile;
Most my bills are paid;
Yet still got a, mortgage;
 I'm a survivor
Have a reasonable good health, sound body and mind;
I'm a survivor
Yet still I keep on smiling;
Everything's not the devils fault;
Somethings I've done to myself in life;
I'm a survivor, I'm a survivor;

I am not satisfied;
 I'm a survivor;
God and Jesus on my side;
My bride, my wife dies last year;
No other female, no soul-mate to share (my life with)
Now I just a widowed mess;
Even still I AM Blessed;
For it I marry again or not;
I'm God bridge, ready or not;
I am not of them
 I'm a survivor;
I've fallen, but yet I'm up again
 I'm a survivor;
You taken away my job;
Twice this year;
Yet I still smile;
I fall yet I rise;
I am HIS and HE'S mine
I'm a survivor

Janis Medders Tobechi August 30, 2017 at 9:36 AM Yes, this is testimony to the strength that God provides. When I had to bury my daughter and was forced into retirement, the strength just kept coming. So sorry about your wife. As a young person, God may surely have someone else for you. Keep looking up and congratulations on your win.

Gregory Richard Barden August 30, 2017 at 12:55 AM Blessings to you, James, and prayers for success and prosperity in your life! I have struggled much of late with many of the same things, but we're still here for a reason, right? God has a purpose for us, a positive one, of that I'm sure. Wonderful and courageous write - congrats on your win, my friend!
