Ode to the morning sun
shining til' the day is done
Ode to the moon so bright
giving us, Lucasta Light
Ode to that star gazed-room
custom built,.. God's anteroom
Ode to Creation Days
made for earthling castaways
like you and I :)
Way back in the mists of the 1950's
Transistor radios were really quite nifty
I saved for such a long time
Spent every last one of my dimes
Bought me a red crystal-set 'rocket ship'
A radio custom-built to take a long trip
Under the covers I'd dive about nine
The reception on WABC, New York, just fine
I'd stay up way past my bedtime
Thrilling to sportscasts in my secret shrine
You can probably guess how all this ended
My parents caught me, my secret upended
Yet they saw how I cried over how they'd pried
And pretty soon they too were so teary-eyed
They backed right down -- my dream hadn't died
~ Tears of laughter all three of us cried

Look at you haven't you done well
With your custom built library office which smells if rich mahogany and many leather bound book's
Isn't it amazing what money can buy
An entire room of book's for the ignorant and illiterate
A country mansion and more cars than garages and bespoke suits and watches than day's in the week
With a trophy wife in check to adorn his arm
And blessed with everything he ever dreamed of
He still remained unfulfilled
As all the money in the world could not buy the 1 thing he craved left remaining
None of which he owned was earned
His wealth his house his car's his freinds his wife
At the end of the day it was all inherited
And therefore worthless
{I want to make a bird house,
Guess I need these things from Hobby Lobby and Michael's}

Minimum 50 to maximum 100 popsicle sticks
1 Hot glue gun
with hot glue sticks
1 finger paint
for a illusion seemingly complex design
1 bowl of string yarn
1 paper clip
criss-crossing alternating stacking making a square overlapping stick over stick making four walls and a floor and an "A" shaped flat roof...out of these popsicle sticks so the end result is a custom-built built birdhouse

Written word by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
I know your hearts are heavy and you miss having me there
But I'm with God in heaven where no one has a care
I just shook hands with Moses I met Job and Daniel too
Now I am enjoying a body that's brand new
It really was amazing when I walked through the gate
I saw the beauty of this place and I could hardly wait
To come into the presence of The Father and The Son
Hearing Him say to me the priceless words "WELL DONE!"
Jesus took me by the hand and said "I'm so glad you came
Your place is reserved in heaven's choir
Sing praises to My name
You should see my mansion; it's a sight to see
Jesus had it custom built especially for me
I'm having the best time up here so don't be sad and blue
I'm looking forward to the day when I can usher you
Into this very special place where God is on His throne
And we will have the honor to worship Him alone
I know your hearts are heavy and you miss having me there - But I'm with God in heaven
where no one has a care - I just shook hands with Moses - I met Job and Daniel too - People
who were sick on earth have bodies that are new - It really was amazing - When I walked
through the gate - I saw the beauty of this place and I could hardly wait - To see the many
wondrous things I'd heard about for years - A place where all is joy and peace - A place
that's free from tears - Peter said "Now come with me - I'll take you to your guide" - Soon I
was standing with Jesus by my side - He took me by the hand and said "I'm so glad you
came - your place is reserved in heaven's choir - sing praises to My name - You should see
my mansion - It's a sight to see - Jesus had it custom built especially for me - I'm having the
best time up here so don't be sad and blue - I'm looking forward to the day when I can usher
you - Into this very special place where we'll live forever more - Please live for God so you
won't miss the things He has in store.
