Her hands were hard and her wrinkles earned
and with those hands your bottom she would burn
Church all Sunday and Wednesday evenings too
You better go or the devil would fear for you
Granny was tough but she always did provide
You never had hunger or cold with Granny by your side
You mind your manners and never cursed
Somehow there was always candy in Granny's purse
She never worried but she always prayed
Her greatest joy was when each grandchild was Saved
Granny went to Heaven years ago
I wished my children had her to know
I think somehow they would have made her mild
For Granny always had the heart of a young child.

Not built for the single life.
We are Ordinary people,
Bound to one lonely lovely wife.

Our children carved to match the mould.

A warning clear — unyielding, near...

Silence shall fall …
And you will find yourself erased
You crossed the line,
Now your reward is disgrace.
For daring to disturb,
Our Ordinary Living.
Someone into mood
Wave your flag
Wave it to someone
Someone in need
Someone will smile
Smile back
Smile for a while
While you sleep
While you work
Work a little each day
Work toward peace
Peace with coexistence
Peace and gentle kindness
Kindness to yourself
Kindness to your pet
Pet the sand with your toes
Pet someone close
Close to you and me
Close to the Lord
Lord Have mercy
Lord this is long
Long as in forever
Long you are
Are you still with me
Are we still doing this
This is tedious but
This I will finish for you
You are worth it
You deserve attention
Attention to detail
Attention and time
Time is valuable
Time has a limit
Limit your barriers
Limit your excuse
Excuse yourself
Excuse those around
Around your world
Around your head
Head for growth
Head for change
Change your perspective
Change your mind
Mind your manners
Mind the weather
Weather the storm
Weather the mood
Mood of all of it
Mood you made
Made;
It! :)
The rule book
Of Society rules
We either live by the rules
Or be ruled unfit:
Toe the line
Walk that fine line
Keep in line
But never cross the line;
Speak up
Speak when spoken to
Speak politely
But never speak out of turn;
Mind your manners
Mind where you look now
Mind your Mama
Oh just never mind;
Look out
Watch out
Just let it play itself out
But never let it out;
Come when called
Come along now
Come here
Just never come alone.
But sometimes
The line between formal
And informal
Ambition
Blurs
And I come
Unspoken
Alone
In my mind
Without you
Playing it out
With both feet
Planted firmly
Over the line.
Pictures of babies and license plates,
are you asking a criminal to find you?
The internet is NOT benevolent.
It’s phony as hell, you better believe it;
Keep your life out of reach and private.
A cheer or criticism, neither are needed;
Less is so much more decent,
let’s practice social media modesty;
With each detail you make public
you put your life at unimaginable risk;
People will follow you stalking your life,
until they scrape enough to create a copy;
Is it you? Is it not? It doesn’t really matter.
Identity theft only needs your numbers;
Suddenly there are two of you twinning,
but one is just a parasite you’re feeding;
Less is so much more decent,
let’s practice social media modesty;
Mind your manners remain chaste,
some things really should stay closed;
Stop flaunting what matters so carelessly!
Better think twice or become a victim ;
Sudden chill down your spine in real life,
That irreparable damage was preventable;
Less is so much more decent,
let’s practice social media modesty.
Young man you don't listen, you don't listen
Stop your fishing, you're not fishing just fidgeting
Mind your matters it does matter if you want to live long obey your parents
Old man stops your nagging I'm not standing for what you say
I do not believe yet I will be receiving all the money and material things
Yeah! old man that will be coming my way yeah?
And I ain't believing that I'll be receiving a punishment from the maker
Young man you'll be receiving that of what you're dishing out
You'll be given all that you've been giving that of your choice
I am just a relic I am just upset by the major decisions your tone in your voice
Keep you in mind that you can't control time and that I am who you wanna be
So as long as you live remember your peers won't keep you only God will
Mind your manners it does matter if you wanna live long in this life
You have to believe in less in receiving your need to believe in Christ
And when you are done in this life with your free will and choice
You represent
No, minded manners disobedient to laws, rules God's commandments
You'll sit and be REMINDED OF THOSE SIMPLE
YOUTH AND ELDER TEMPERAMENTS
08/18/15
written by James Edward Lee Sr.
Never speak ill of others,
No matter what they do,
For I can guarantee my friend,
It'll come right back to you.
Don't repeat the things you hear,
If it could hurt another.
Things like that have ruined lives,
Set brother against brother.
The things you do, the things you say,
Always come back to taunt you.
The past can be a witch my friend,
When it returns to haunt you.
Whatever you cast to the wind,
Gets blown back in your face.
Remember that the next time you,
Put someone in their place.
Be big enough just to admit,
The faults that are your own.
Don't put the blame on someone else.
In time it will come home.
Mind your manners and your mouth.
Remember these words well;
And keep your eyes upon The Lord.
Most gossip's made in Hell.
Do unto others, says The Word,
As you'd have them do to you.
That way it don't hurt so much,
When pay back does ensue.
In a meadow
in a field
field of daisies
field of dreams
dreams of fortune
dreams come true
true blue
true love's kiss
kiss a frog
kiss me quick
quick like a bunny
quick thinking
thinking of you
thinking about life
life worth living
life guard
guard your heart
guard your mind
mind your manners
mind over matter
matter of fact
matter of time
time of day
time travel
travel by plane
travel far away
away from home
away from it all
all or nothing
all is well
well done
well of water
water of life
water to drink
drink coffee
drink tea
tea with lemon
tea made in the sun
sun rising high
sun beams down
down to earth
down and out
out of patience
out of time
time to go
time to rest
rest easy
rest in peace
easy
peace

Right out the gates they slap you
And here it is, you brand new
Don't worry there's much more to come
As you take in your new view
A cold gray world to greet you
Welcome to the club
Just a kid in all you do
Do everything that they tell you
Act up and you'll be drugged
Learning early to stay in line
Mind your manners and you'll do fine
Welcome to the club
Quickly are your teenage years
Not finding friends, your biggest fear
In wanting to be loved
You clutch and grab at any straw
Try your best to bend its will
Welcome to the club
As you reach for adolescence
There's no more need to be guessing
You'll figure out soon enough
You'll learn in time to accept them
All of these hard knock life lessons
Welcome to the club
Then you reach adult years
All your hopes, dreams, and fears
Get rolled up into one
Your youthful vigor will soon become
Worn out jeans inside the wash
Welcome to the club
You watch in wonder as years fly by
Hear distant thunder from your coming life
Close but not yet done
There's a few more angry bites
To be taken out your hide
Welcome to the club
Now old and gray is all you see
Pack your bags get set to leave
As aches and pains daily beat you up
Inches away from the grave
No more need to count the days
Welcome to the club
“A New Now”
A new Now is my desire.
A good Now would suit me fine
For this Now is not the Now I need.
Now let me be brief.
I’ll say it Now.
Mind your manners---
Or I’ll be gone.
The Now that’s Now
Isn't the Now I crave,
For this Now is ugly and unkind,
Full of hate, anger, and fear.
What I desire is a more quiet Now,
Full of love, peace, and harmony.
The kind our mothers spoke of
When we were young.
The Now, when mothers held us close,
Whispered sweetly in our ears,
Wrapped us up in linens,
And fed us from their breasts.
A Now that cares,
One that loves,
One that gives,
One that’s kind.
That Now would suit me fine.
When this Now is over
May its day be gone forever
Buried alive in the dustbowl of time
Now, allow me to be frank,
Banish this Now, Now!
No need to contemplate
A better Now awaits,
Much better than this cursed Now.
Rise up, Rise up, without delay.
A new dawn waits.
