BOLD
So what now you were told
That you were to be bold
courageous, confident
courageous, confident, and fearless; ready to take risks.
To show- showing or requiring courage some bold plans.
Adventurous. Are those the thoughts of man
Audacious. I never conceive that I am
Courageous. Only in the arms of Jesus
I now shall be daring, fearless, heroic, bantam
Resolutely I do say, I am just a man
Confident when in doubt cry-OUT Jesus
Straight forward unto God
Speak His words out Be in His love
Be gallant assuming all things are His truths
aweless dauntless enterprising intrepid
Be unafraid for the Lord our God fights all of our battles
undaunted speak up, valiant valorous
Holy rest in His way
Be told, no you know not that’s not your way
For you are bold
You don’t have to be told
For you are bolder boldly boldness overbold Holy
Speak,
Speak,
Speak
You don’t have to be told
For you are bolder boldly boldness overbold Holy
Holy
Holy
I gonna be now

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
Impulsive were the days of youth,
Nattered all through busy evenings,
Thrived to exaltation, absolutely naive,
Harmonious cheerful charm is now a history,
Extravagant fancy now a great mystery,
Modesty with age took a sharp turn,
Obsession faded, as if never will return,
Over the years gone far more sluggish,
Downswing, could it perpetually stay ?
Forgives itself nothing always is youth,
Overwhelmingly pardoned everything is age,
Retread reminiscence !
Longevity of lust with a vengeance ,
Overbold, badly in need of discipline,
Vacuity sobbed and bawled like sick,
Ebullience soon awakens endurance !
And vigour turns vernal as much again,
Golden moments regain their lost sheen,
Apart from heartbeats' rhyme, souls in unison,
Immaculate passion returns with full punch,
No worries of life, ecstasy takes a hunch !

I come to you by way of my pen,
to dispel some rumors told.
To hear the lies being spread,
does make my blood run cold.
There is no basis in facts,
that I have a heart of gold.
Never should it have been said,
that I could be a beauty to behold.
Then there is the one that states,
that I have complete self control.
Apparently, someone out there,
swears, I am not yet looking old.
I have a group of so called friends,
that claim I am not thick-skulled.
Some even swear I am demure
and have never been overbold.
It's a shame that lies like these,
have a way of taking hold.
Eventually, they may have even I,
resembling this picture they mould.
