Dedicated to my wife of 40 years, whose went home to the Lord

She was loaned to me from God for awhile. A day, a night years went by. Hopefully she didn't suffer didn't cry. May peace and grace subside. I only know I cried cause alas she's no longer by my side. I often wonder how and why. I was granted this girl, woman whom literally caught my eyes. I was faithful not never ever an adulterator even though in these times it's hard to believe now. So I am grateful, ever so thankful for I'm the lowly-ugly lamb.

Who wonder and wonders God loan me a woman a daughter of God from His arms.

I am so thankful and glad that I had those forty years

AMEN

Rock Garden

ROCK GARDEN by James Edward Lee Sr.

You were my main stay;
You were my rock;
Extremely strong reliable faithful;
Hard foundations a cornerstone;
Nurturing tower of strength;
Faithful enduring yellow flower;
A small pebble in a sea of rocks;
This so God graciously created you for that...
I've been diminished and pardoned;
The Lord God loan you to me for the hour;
You're my flower and a rock this is your garden
Carmen's Rock garden...
