Our school days are far behind us now, so sadly,
Yet our shared lives I still praise so gladly.
The moments in our past I will always cherish;
You gave me endless smiles that will never perish.
The memory of your embrace and kindest words
Still fills the air like the morning song of birds.
You always shone with power, grace, and true ability,
Living your life with more abundance than nobility.
I think of innocent days when we just played—
Two little girls giggling, unbothered in the shade.
Atop your bunk bed, anchor women on the screen,
We read the nightly news and imagined every scene.
Those childhood headlines sparked a creative flame,
And taught my heart to love the poetry I now frame.
You enrich your destiny with so much love now,
Stepping into a new journey with a marital vow.
I am eternally grateful to be here as your friend,
Blessed by a beautiful connection with no end.
My days are a golden canvas where true devotion shines,
Reflected in a loyal bond that beautifully entwines.
With a mind and heart like mine,
I am!! I’m not looking for poems,
They come to me! And that’s rich!!!
Both, inspire me… and I love it!!!!

She sits there perfectly serene.
Her heart is at peace.
Her soul basks in harmony.
She soaks up the sun divinely blissful.

His light, falls gently
Erasing the melancholy
The summer’s grief
Restless praises, stirred
By the music of a grace
Beyond the heavens,
Where love can amaze….
Sweet notes of praise,
On lips of leaf and life
When starlight trembles
Keeping away this strife…
Autumn’s brisk light
Falls across the night
Where melancholy
Whispers to a moon so bright,
Streams of tear like dewdrops
Rest on the soul who knows
Whatever comes in this life
God above will exalt…
Every heart who remembers
He is One who knows me best
And, with Him, life is forever blessed!
*** BLESSED at 40 ***
Forty years of living
and I am still loving it.
Thank you Father God,
You have blessed my life.
As I walked to whereever,
pedal a cycle, drive a car
ride a small boat or a big ship,
fly with a plane,
tango with the times,
surf with the waves
of joys and tears,
conquer every struggle.
Battle each fear,
pray for every wish,
I never stop dreaming
I on becoming each year...

From scratching a living,
mighty civilisations rose.
The first idiot
to get on the back of a horse knows
more than all
the philosophers pontificating.
The stupid step forward
while everyone else is waiting.
Thankfully,
the smartest could never persuade
the foolish from all
the bad decisions they made.
Palate filled with zest
Flavor caressed my breath
Nevertheless i'm a vessel
My true essence is my soul
Eternally I am destined whole
I've arrived call horizontally crescent
While being unequivocally blessed

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2026
Brian Blessed,
Unimpressed,
By a bear in his tent,
A swift punch he sent.
