I feel like I’m so far away from home
Sometimes, I don’t know where to roam
I feel as if I’m going slowly insane by the minute
Quit trying to make me believe in your lies, which make you an idiot
Caress me with your hugs of affection
I’ve been holding back tears of regret and rejection
I’m holding onto you whether you like it or not
I feel as if my heart will pound out of control and skipped a beat – don’t let me rot
I’m holding on till my strength is gone
I’m moving on till the break of dawn
I’m holding on till my heart gives out
I’m moving on without a single doubt
Hold onto me till the day I die
Cuddle with me, so that I won’t cry
Love me and touch me everywhere
Hold onto me tightly without a care
I’ve held onto you for so long
You taught me the difference between right and wrong
Loving you is the toughest job to keep up
You broke me like an expensive, delicate cup
Wash me thoroughly with your love from above
Marinate me with your marvelous light of delight
You’re so amazing, my gracious, incredible dove
Love me, touch me and hold onto me with all of your might
"Our horses are well-trained and subdued!", blared the stable sign!
That made a lot of horse-sense to me and suited me just fine.
I'm not an equestrian and had never ridden a horse before.
"Not to worry", said he, "you'll soon establish a fine rapport!"
I paid the price agreed and he produced an elegant steed.
Says he, "Why, he's so tame that little kids ride 'im, yes indeed!"
His name was 'Killer' which aroused in me some suspicion,
But I set that aside anxious to get on with my expedition!
I approached the beast with not a little apprehension.
He stood there paying me not the least bit of attention,
'Til I put my foot in the stirrup then he turned his head and stared,
Glared, stomped and snorted with his nostrils fully flared!
At last I managed to climb upon the well-worn western saddle.
The guy slapped Killer's rump and yelled, "Now, y'all skedaddle!"
Off we galloped like a bat out of you know where,
Me holding on with all my might proffering a hasty prayer!
I've flown upside down in planes, done loops and other gyrations,
But that cayuse gave me the wildest ride despite my supplications!
Back at the stable I straightened my back with a visible wince,
And fellers I'm here to tell you, I ain't rode another horse since!

They all said when you left
It would take a few years
And some time for me to move on from here
But this guy won’t soon forget
All the good times that we had
Yeah those days of ease and memories I hold dear
Yeah, I tried to figure it out
While lubricating a lot of fear
Yeah, the whiskey kept things inside of me
But the memories clear
In time I began to see
A future where I needed to be
And all it took was some warm tears
And a few cold beers
You know they all were right
I was holding on too tight
I thought I was fearin’ but I was just here-and all-alone
But with help from old man time
And some tequila, cold beer and limes
I took over the talkin’ to do some walkin’
On my own
Yeah, I tried to figure it out
While lubricating a lot of fear
Yeah, the whiskey kept things inside of me
But the memories clear
In time I began to see
A future where I needed to be
And all it took was some warm tears
And a few cold beers
These days I’m doin’ just fine
I still toast you with Tecate and lime
Cause in all these years
With just a few tears
I still hold you dear
And all it took was some warm tears
And a few cold beers
There's you and him
There's him and I
Beneath our roof
Lives the lie
Though we're not holding on
We're held together.....by him
Our precious flowers
Have all but wilted now
As we fight the truth
And wonder how
Though we're not holding on
We're held together.....by him
Held together by two little hands
That seem to form a bond
That tries to mend what's broken down
Between his dad and mom
Is this circumstance
Or sacrifice
Two different souls
Living separate lives
But we're held together....
Yes we're held together....
By him
Where would we be
If our hearts could lead the way
Sometimes true love takes a while
To meet its fate
We'd walk away
Without looking back
Two hearts give thanks
For what they once had
We're held together
Still held together.....by him
Held together by two little hands
That seem to form a bond
That tries to mend what's broken down
Between his dad and mom
Is this circumstance
Or sacrifice
Two different souls
Living separate lives
But we're held together
Yes we're held together....
By him
We're held together
We're held together......
By him
Quite frankly, I don't remember at all
You see I was quite young when I took my first fall.
Don't know which parent was there to catch me
Or how hard the decision was to stand back and let me.
Did I topple forward or backward, or who made the call.
And who scooped me up crying
After the fall.
I can't remember the joy of first letting go
And taking that step without holding on.
Groping my way forward
Leaning against the wall
I got back up
After the fall.
As the Earth spun the years flew by so fast
At 17 I finally knew everything at last!!
Unexpectedly, I fell once again,
Head over heels this time
And out on a limb.
I was so sure of that bet
I gambled it all
Heart bruised abused and then broken
After that fall.
And then I broke my own promise
To not love again.
Hungry for life
I gambled to win.
Life is a theatre of first steps first
A one act play with no time to rehearse.
Co starring in roles
Cast without planning.
"Never more" echoes
The raven still chanting.
Undaunted unwilling
To let darkness win all
Trusting Father to be there
After the fall.
Then the day came
When I had a son
To let him learn the word hot And hope he'd not run,
Would he still love me
Or trust me at all
When I pulled my hand back
And allowed him to fall?
And knowing I'd be there again
To help him to stand
And knowing he might never walk
If I didn't let go of his hand
And hoping he didn't revert back to a crawl
When I let go of his hand
And allowed him to fall.
As the earth kept on turning
My heart kept yearning
My son now a man
Living and learning.
He hasn't held my hand now in a very long time
The cats in the cradle slowly plays in the back of my mind.
I looked in the mirror today
And noticed my dad.
And remembered a talk that we'd never had.
Remembering how he seemed towering and tall
And was there every time
After each fall.
I lose my balance these days now and again
My steps aren't as sure
As they once might have been.
In the winter of life now
I feel so small
And wonder who'll catch me
If I take a fall.
I suppose I'll just have to trust Father
With both great things and small
To pick me up on the other side
When I take my last fall.
Thank you for just being thank you, thank God for His creating you. You, I feel that you serve the Lord bountifully and so beautifully you do Him, and you're being shown your honey out of the Rock; I love your praise. I love you worship,p I love you, you, honesty I love your Spiritual Tongue worship praise you're more than okay you are worthy my heart always cries out to God for more blessing for you and your family you are a support, and King David says the sweetest nectar call as thee God of heaven has produced Don't be ever sad if you do I'll lift you up Don't Cry tears if you do I'll Dry them off, and I'll cry too but yet call wipe yours off don't you ever be ashamed of your praise just solid your Praises Are ginuwine I am so glad that I know this God's Daughter I love your heart your mind your spirit your soul all of you You are a blessed woman of God keep holding on your blessings further going to come in Jesus name Amen

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2022©
people have been thinking of their financial situations
wondering if they have them in hand
and in this day of global economic fluctuations
wondering about the futures they had planned
people have been thinking about their spiritual walk
wondering if they are only talking the talk
do they tithe enough? do they pray all the time?
do they study the Word? do they keep God on their minds?
to be turned by faith we need to readjust
our lives in relation to the God we say we trust
to be turned by faith we need to make a move
and get into a whole new spiritual groove
we're so stuck in our ruts in most aspects of our lives
the same tired jobs, the same old friends, the same personal strife
we need to look at our lives through the eyes of God
and rearrange it by making a brand new start
to just step out of the boat without the anchor of fear
to trust in the power of Jesus and remembering He is always near
to be turned by faith never to lose sight
of the Lord Our God's guiding light
to be turned by faith by being happier and physically fit
totally trusting in that which is the Holy Spirit
God has placed us here for a reason
and will use each of us in due season
we all play a part in God's master plans
just let your belief be the vehicle that delivers you into His hands
the road might be rocky and the journey will be long
just let God position you where you'll prosper and be strong
in the boat with Jesus on the troubled seas of life
holding on and trusting in the power that is Christ
in the boat with Jesus now under His authority
in the boat with Jesus now sailing on calmer seas
to be turned by faith towards higher ground
now that your situation has been turned around
to be turned by faith to no longer worry about what's up ahead
to be turned by faith with a life that's now spirit-led
to be healthier and happier trusting in God to provide all your needs
to be turned by faith and knowing with God you will succeed
The past is gone,
Keep moving on – remembering,
Not regretting, never fretting…
What’s done is done, so keep moving on
The past is gone – the past is gone
The future is coming,
Keep hoping for the best,
There is potential in the upcoming…
But don’t let tomorrow become
The only reason for holding on
The present is here,
Keep believing in this moment,
Where light reflects the gentle,
Where hearts are embraced…
By the most beautiful gift there is –
The present remembers only this…
To grant the heart offering of one moment at a time,
One blessing that you’ll find – lives
Inside the present moment, the existing of a smile,
The wonder of the here and now,
Where each miracle can be found out…
Oh, how I love the present where I can live most richly,
With assurance that my life is flowing with an existing joy,
A joy in knowing that His love is growing – in this moment
I see it’s increase in each passing gift of the present day,
The beautiful that prays – for His lasting grace!

Forgiveness is placing ourselves in the other person's shoes and trying to understand why they did what they did. It's understanding that hurt people hurt other people, as we ourselves may often do. Forgiveness is forgiving others as God Yahweh has forgiven us. Forgiveness is letting go, and not letting others have the power over us. Forgiveness is releasing those who hurt us so we may have room to love. It's a part of healing in body, mind, and soul. Forgiveness should also be extended towards ourselves letting go of our regrets, and mistakes we have made in our past. Holding on to unforgiveness never helps, but I know for sure it only hurts. Unforgiveness not only hurts us, but the ones we love.
Smouldering thoughts of pain
Blistering feelings that can make a person gain
The opportunity exists; the agony might persist
But the spirit of resilience will win
Your agony is your opportunity
Your pain today is your power tomorrow
There is an arrow of certainty that
Will show you the moment of opportunity
Your opposition is your opportunity
Your struggle is the road to victory
Your story is beyond the pain
Holding on can make a person gain
Smouldering thoughts of victory
Blistering feelings that can enhance a person’s story
The opportunity exists; the agony might persist
But the spirit of resilience will win
