Cherish all of that which you have now,
For at the ends of all shared roads
Memories become tears below your brow,
Each event impelled by Earth's lunar nodes.
Cherish all of which is secretly promised,
For at the end of all of this journey of life,
You'll realize how you were always blessed
Even in darkest days of turmoil and strife.
Cherish all of what you once had,
For in the very end you'll see it all again,
Flashing through moments you were glad,
Realizing your light outweighed your pain.
Cherish all of what you desire now,
For there is only so much of the journey left,
Indulge, inspire yourself no matter how,
Enjoy the pleasures you were once bereft.
cherish to relish ~

All these years I’ve wandered lost and alone,
Searching for that special place I truly I belonged.
Always seeking that next mountain to climb,
Hoping to find that special place that I would feel
Truly was mine .
Then one day you appeared on my long journey,
And I knew I finally found my answer with you.
You were the one I had be seeking for
The moment I saw you I knew I need look no more.
I can’t explain how this miracle came to be,
All I know is you were placed here to lead me.
Lead me to a place I must go,
You are the spirit of a love from long ago.
Brought back to honor the promise I made to you,
To love and cherish you forever more,
And to stand by your side until time Is no more
Though the sea is far, the wind still flies thereto.
Though the sun is set, it's rays still shine from afar.
Once submerged in the vast beauty of this world,
Yet never stopped by the mundane rocks
I held in my hand.
The water still runs crisp and clear from the olden days
But the bridge above has forever collapsed.
Blossoms fall, littering the surface,
The empty tree stands, a timeless guard.
Life sometimes very long
Sometimes it's short
In an unlimited time
Be able to meet people
You want to cherish
How rate it is for you
I don't want to regret all my life
And I don't want to waste my time
For the first time, we passed each other
Now, I will never let you
Slip out of my life again
In order to be with you
I will try my best to stick it out with you.
The gatherings of the souls, it's not about our vessels
It’s not about the foods meats, or vegetables
shall we cherish in thanks giving
we eat, It's not about the political or flesh nor political things
It's not about the gathering if were hold on to animosity
~
Let us gather in Agape
Let us embrace our spirit, souls and hearts;
we shall cherish in thanks giving
Ever Godly thankful for ALL things HE does;
Grateful this new day dawn...Cherish in Thanks Giving
As we are ever so shall are Cherish in thanks giving

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©
Sleep like a little piggy
You don't even know how I did
Just like yesterday
When you get carried to the bed
All the dreams you had in your comic
I'll realize them for you one by one
Every words I utter became poetic
Now that I have you my world had just begun
Let's cherish every moment as ever
Hand in hand let's face life together.
So many conflicts, many nations want.
To kill, abundant arms, countries just flaunt.
Talking about wars, a thing they cherish,
it matters less, whether many perish.
On round tables, their talks always on strife:
destroy with bombs not even a knife;
invade other lands with slightest excuse
to commit shameful human rights abuse.
Their alliances rob others of their peace.
Their thirst for human blood is without cease.
A once prosperous place plundered to debt,
all their residents scamper in cold sweat.
But hope still glimmers, though the road is long,
still peace will come, though war now rages strong.
13th November, 2024.
The day has come to see.
A life worth living is with me.
You fought your way through this life searching the sea.
Yet you were just looking for me.
I could feel your existence here and there.
The excitement you could almost see in the air.
Oh that light you shine on the world.
Is what I was looking for.
There is no one else in the world for me.
For your light that shines is what I see.
The light I see is pure as a puppy.
Life exudes from you as sweet as taffy.
We finally meet and your light surrounds me.
Life's light is sweet especially when you are there with me.
Life is short- cherish it
Hidden treasures in my mind...
Cherished memories with you.
Some are easier to find
Mapped out on a print of blue.
Others are harder to recall
Although they are retained.
Despite this, I still love them all...
Inside my head - contained.
Maps that I have drawn of past
Co-ordinates and places.
Either lost or made to last...
The good times and their faces.
Along my way of life's journey
We met some way, somehow.
This, I dig proverbially
Revealed inside the now.
There's still more life for us to live
So join me with said spade
And let us make the time we give
Unearth more than we've made.
Every infant is a blessing
a treasure to cherish
Couples who struggle to conceive
a newborn their (Christmas) wish
Gaslamp, Gaslamp show me the way
inside the cave, leave me there
where I'm safe.
Ain't no debate, Gaslamp, Gaslamp.
In the way, seeing no place that
I fit in.
Blistered with Sin.
yeah...
I'm creeping again,
yeah..
I'm creeping again,
yeah.
I'm creeping again.
Gaslamp, Gaslamp in me warming
my Chi, sleeping up in the Rum and
left over Whiskey.
Stagnated. I've never been the one
to knock for help, yet here I am.
Here in my mental man,
never rising back.
Scared and afraid of just leaving
a stain, an impact on this Earth.
I need to be calm, nothing more
than the son of beauty upon the
concrete.
Am I making believe,
or does anybody care enough to
caress on my cheek?
Resting me, arresting me,
and then admitting defeat.
Am I making believe,
or does anybody care enough to
caress on my cheek?
Resting me, arresting me,
and then admitting defeat.
On our wedding day, the summer was beginning to fade away, but autumn had not taken over the world. The sky opened and dropped a few tears of happiness onto the church rooftop while we said our vows. Although the temperature was mild, our passion still scorched our skin like a burning July sun with every touch. My Army uniformed paled against the brilliance of your winter white wedding dress. You smelled like wildflowers in the spring. We laughed when we promised all our worldly possessions to each other. We did not understand yet how rich we were.
The springtime of youth
Is rife with love and passion
To warm winter’s days
Did you just copy it?
,,Yeah, I can't draw hahahah"
Still not a reason,
to call me a nondrawer.
I still needed to use the flashlight of my phone so my dad doesn't know,
I am staying up all night for trying to create a Theater Show
