His eyes that run dim with tears like autumn’s fade
Reflect the pain of love's defeated grade.
He invested all, his heart and soul,
In her, his love, his life's control.
He made himself her sole provider,
Trusting she'd stay, his love forever to deliver.
But now, she's gone, and he's left to grieve,
No legal bond, no proof to retrieve.
Bottles pile high, a futile quest,
To drown his sorrow, and find some rest.
But alas, the pain will not subside,
For love, now lost, has been his demise.
A bird that falls, a thousand pass,
Unmoved, unmindful of its tender grass.
So let this be a lesson true,
To guard the heart, and love anew.
center>O’ Lord my God
In you Christ the hope of glory
You are my Elohim creator story
You wrote my life, down from heaven
I’ve fallen
Covered by your blood, your Son Jesus shed for me
And I am in His grace
One day I’ll see your face in glory
In the heavens
My finish is your works to you
Your finished works unto over and in me
You’re mine God, my heavenly Father
Provider of all things, always
Hallelujah

There was a fly who fell for a spider
He made her tummy churn inside her
She entered his web
Thought she’d be wed
But became just a meal provider.

After the spider made lunch of the fly
A curious grasshopper leapt on by
He told the fly with gusto
I really now must go
to dine on my worm and centipede pie!

Jesus Christ is a blaisser
He is a provider
Hosanna , Hallelujah!
Hallelujah , Ah - ah!
Amen
Jesus Christ is the head of the church
He is pure honey that cost so much
Hosanna , Hallelujah!
Hallelujah , Ah - ah!
Amen

You listen to all my babbling and triggering
Your friendship knows no belittling or conjecturing
You're just simply that special irreplaceable something
My love for you comes with total understanding
I am a warrior by your side waiting for commanding
Your secrets will be buried with me into this earth
This is my solemn promise to you and your worth
You never asked for devotion in our interaction
I never expected your Muse to be an attraction
Female parent
women who inhabit
role bearing
notes chart provider all
Role bearing nurturer provide

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
I dropped a crust for the sparrow
beneath my garden chair.
Is he grateful in his sparrow way?
If so, to whom,
or does he even know I dropped it there?
God Is much more mindful of my care,
and for those who also eat,
who gather crumbs without a thought,
who share with me life's feast,
completely unaware.
I didn't have a home
But His care was the roof above my head
I didn't have food to eat
But His promise kept me full
I didn't see the need to live
But he took me to His embrace
And breathed a purpose into me
O,how Mighty is the Lord!
WORKING MULTIPLE JOBS TO SURVIVE
MAKING IT WORK
TIRED SOME-DAYS, NOT RELAXING
JUST MAKING IT THROUGH
PRAYING FOR SOMETHING BRAND NEW
MAKING IT WORK
TIRED, AND REALIZING
A BETTER WAY OUT
I'M ONLY ONE PERSON
CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH
I NEED A GREAT TOUCH
PRAYING FOR MORE THAN ENOUGH
GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL OF MY NEEDS
GIVING ME THE GRACE TO CONTINUE ON
AS THE BLESSED DOORS ARE OPENED
SOME DOORS ARE NOW CLOSED
I WAITED AND PRAYED
NOW THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN LAID
MORE THAN ENOUGH
ALL THAT I CAN HANDLE
WHILE HELPING OTHERS
I NOW CAN MANAGE
I MADE IT THROUGH
GOD HEARS ALL PRAYERS
TAKING IT DAY BY DAY
ALWAYS A WAY MADE
MY FAITH AND TRUST
GIVING GOD MY ALL
IS A MUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here lies a poor stiff that nobody knew,
who worked hard everyday nine to five.
With body wore out and options few,
he decided he was worth more dead than alive.
1/23/19
From the day of my birth, God knew
all about me or so I thought
for scripture says always Gods known
before earth's foundation knew the lot
But this God brings peace and calm
into my soul for HIs love full of grace
perfect contentment deep in my heart
comes looking like a beauty on His face
This peace is simply such perfect peace
only God Himself could bring this about
God is the lover of my soul so amazing!
what blessing I've received without doubt
Although they're times of nervous fear
this God brings me through them all
sometimes thoughts within beat me down
grace bends down to lift me from my fall
But such is the power of God's peace
providing in me such contentment so deep
holds and keeps me within His grip
this is my God for I am His sheep
Christ our Provider
When I face things that do overwhelm
Do I listen to voices in this earthly realm?
Where there is no hope for me that, I am done
their voices say behind my back let's shun.
Life gives you a curve ball do you strike out
at times, you want to quit or feel burnt-out.
Help me not to turn away from you or flee
from your spirit that is pursuing after me.
What if your loved one has a deadly disease
like cancer or leukemia that never ceases,
or have lost a child that is within your care
hope is gone, prayers fail and it's not fair.
God, help me be aware of a heart of grief
there are hurting people; Satan is a thief.
Give unto me eyes of sight for the blind
who knows but God who I can aid or find?
A person who has no clue on where to go
even what there is available or what to do,
it could be just a smile or a small thing
but if God is in it touches the heartstrings.
By tiptoe
This world gives us many knocks
many times knocked down but not out
we live for that great hope
but filled with many a doubt
Our eyes get opened wide
when God reveal's all He has
He's got a never ending supply
which always comes first class
This great sovereign divine supply
gives out of His heart the best
nothing less will ever do
always passing whatever the test
This is the great God almighty
who only knows the best for us
the truest wisest one ever
perfect in all that He does
This with you thought I should share
In Seattle Comcast service was beyond compare
Since in Brunswick County is an annual affair
Connections being lost everywhere.
My patience had been wearing thin
Internet connection is done in again
And head had almost hit the roof
ATMC lines, they are trying to improve.
Along with static on the line
Has become a favorite of mine
Am sitting here on my computer chair
And all I can do is grin and bare.
We are at the mercy of the ISP.
All we have on earth
is provided by our God
every need is given
by our gracious all knowing Lord
But we do ask the question
how does God know?
but God is God alone
for His giving is never slow
So we must trust by faith
believing God’s loving care
will always be with us
for He will hear our prayer
