i see you
butterflies, loyal endeavor, gathering pollen
birds delirious in the delight of flight
clouds autonomous to wander in the wonder
rainbows magically appear, silently vanish
wheat swaying in the wind's caress
irises erect in the day's glory
cat balanced on a picket fence
bound for a night's glory
streams wandering in purpose
seeking their greater destination
without a worry in any ripple
rocks giving them song
as the heavenly feathered join in tune
rising upwards the slopes
from valley to mountain's end
harboring meadows of serenity
the sunflower's gaze never leaves
the path of light
where wander fawn and dove
was this not at peace
in the garden they speak of
the metaphors within it all
articulate it well
i see you
life is a miracle
worthy of an attitude of gratitude
i hear that in a baby's cry
i see you
i walk with you
i love you
you are the promise
within Creation's breath
Unambiguous in its cosmic Exhalation

Baby beloved Love you
Bronzed brown eyes

Beating feeling the joy.
Can't ignore

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.
Soliciting moments from the lost past,
I walk down memory lane.
Weaving through the days of laughs,
I tread towards the one that's most profane.
A flicker of hope crosses my eyes
As I sort through the disguise.
A smile, a frown, a lie, a crown
Were these all sources of my soul's demise?
Yet I ponder
Hoping beyond hopes
that maybe today is the day I see you again.
I See You For Your Soul
I see you for your soul and all that goes with it,
I see you for your smiling eyes and tender lines of grit,
I see the way you move and treat your fellow man...
For it's down within the soul that the truest essence brings
Love and tenderness and all the finer things.
I see the caring heart of you, and all your saving grace,
I see the many tears you've cried left streaming down your face.
I see the mark you leave on those that you hold dear,
And leave them always wishing they could have you standing near.
But the biggest and the best of all you know,
Is the giant place where you leave love for it to grow.
You never have to hide from me, or play a different role,
Forever and completely, I see you for your soul.
— Debra
Dear, sweet friend you know a fair-lit day
For that, florid
Out Earth; grass-set.
I, one lovelier! Still daisied
But picked, placed so:
"Your coronet".
hazy cloudy day
sun pops in and out
playing peek-a-boo
I SEE YOU
I see You in the majesty of the mountains,
Your mystery in the depths of the sea.
Your providence every day abounds about me.
I see your power everywhere surrounding me.
I see Your love in the pages of my Bible,
As I read of sacrifice and answered prayer.
Small miracles each day happen 'round me.
I see Your face in each and know You care.
I KNOW YOU
I see you as you go about your business.
The way you live your life is plain to Me.
Your thoughts and deeds are proof that you're My servant,
For by it's fruit a man shall know a tree.
When your time is over there I'll call you.
I'll send a guide to bring you straight to Me.
No need to fear your past mistakes, transgressions,
For by the spilling of My Blood I've set you free.
Kindness you share
Compassion is there
I see you
Love without bounds
Warmth is found
I see you
An ear to your friends
Support to the end
I see you
Beauty from within
A life without sin
I see you
Happiness you own
With true love on the phone
I see you
I see shadows of your presence,
But I know you are not there.
I hear a noise and turn to see you,
All I do is stare.
Grieving is difficult when I am alone.
It's hard to believe that God has called you home.
I remember your smile and every single tear.
I remember all your hurts and pain, and would pull you in so near.
You are my special sweetheart, no matter what others say. I said I would smack them and make them walk away.
You are my life and love, I will never let you go.
So the shadows that I see serve to let me know,
I will see you again.
I see you in the hallway and next to me at night,
I see you in the mirror and I long to hold you tight.
I see the things that defined you everywhere I go, thinking, when I get there in my heart I do know,
I will see you again.
Time has never healed a heart broken or torn.
Pain and sorrow only serve to mock and to scorn.
My ointment and salve is the truth that I know...
I will see you again...

You are not miles away anymore but within
To see you I go nowhere else but inside
Each time I enter you say welcome in
I’m telling the news then you dim the top light
We sit and we smile into our eyes in silence
The leaves susurrate, the breeze changes the view
The moon lurks out there and it’s peeking to find us
You shoot and it froze in the darkening blue
I hear in the distance the sound of thunder
Anxiety mounts for no reason at all
Shall I see you tomorrow and after, I wonder
Will the angel of yours let you hear my call..
we have never fought
but in my head with time we always do,
I love him truly,
but at the altar I see you.
I feel the guilt,
so in some f*ed up way I know it’s not wrong.
I know it hurts him when I space off
and can’t tell him what I’m thinking on.
does our potential haunt you at night
like it does for me?
everything you told me that day
did you even mean it?
or was I just niéve enough
to still believe it?
no goodbyes were said,
no doors were closed.
just silence thick enough
to swallow what we almost chose.
and I don’t want you back
I want the ache to end.
I want the ghost of who we were
to stop pretending we were friends.
so tell me
was it timing,
or were we never brave?
because I’m trying to love a future
that your shadow still invades.
I was really wandering, when i will see
You
Then I turned and wow!!!
Looking at the trees, the fruits
I took a look at the the fishes the
diversity
I look at the seas, the oceans
All i see is them in You.
Look at me, look at my wife.
I see you in me
But I still want to see you Lord.
As I sit here alone,
I see your face in the stars,
The street lamps shine like your eyes.
The wind blows like your exhale,
Your voice drowns out the noise of the night,
But you’re not there.
Fun time
Yum time
Doodle de doo time
Time for you
Time for me
Nothing but you and me ~
Wheeee!
No time to lose
More time to snooze
Just a kiss
That’s what I miss.
We see you often, Dad.
Joe and I.
I do not have as great a look as he does.
He says he sees your entire body.
You are wearing your favorite plaid shirt.
Makes sense to me.
That’s the shirt you were wearing in the car
When I was heading home the day you supposedly died.
I remember what I said to you.
I said “Your job is to keep the deer from jumping in front of the car”.
We passed seven deer that night.
Everyone was at the side of the road.
Standing as if at attention.
Probably to honor you, the deceased.
I hope they are showing you a good time in heaven.
You are my power father and deer are my power animal.
They gave me comfort that day.
As did you, a man who had “supposedly” died.
Being with me in that car reassured me that death is nothing.
I will always be grateful you did this for me, Daddy.
