So far away but my heart you shine through.
Stronger, swifter, and wiser, I am better just because of you.
As the past reigned with the man kings your glow reign in me too.
I'm passionate to be directed by my compass, water, and shoes.
Your nose loud as tunes i can only offer a fife.
From a distance your warmth can rid my soul of evil, damage, and strife.
Like a specific smelling glow you hit the nose like a stife.
The boldest gift to us was Jesus. Son of Man. Son of Life!
Believe in this star because this star still insist.
It places it's place for you to contribute so don't miss.
Grab hold like a latch in the palms of your fist.
Make a way for the King. The one from Nazareth.
Exciting hope, eventually
Sighing through rhythms in beautiful
Rising with daybreak, reflecting
Grace through the second chance,
The new day, like an embrace
Falling soft on the heart, gentling
Each memory, captivating, glowing
Like the last great smile, the
Inspiration in the sunlight’s musing,
Echoes of kindness, inviting
Arising in the one who remembers
He is always with us, revealing love,
Wonderful sent down to us…
Revealing love, His abundant life
Forever, in paradise – without stife,
Everlasting life, everlasting life – beyond
Glowing sunrise, more honest than dew,
Celebrating the light who is truer than true!
bull monster slumbers on the soft cloud of life
without stress or concerns, with no kind of stife.
his mama gave him the assignment all bull monsters want.
he rolls in his dreams, and his lips give a grunt.
does bull monster ever come down here? Asked my boy.
no, he stays there to guide us, giving us gulps of great joy.
he dreams our dreams first, filtering all of the nasties out.
bull monster wants us to sleep soundly, not nightmare about.
The mayor wakes us up at six
to tell us we're to noise
What garbage trucks and City Shmucks
are paid to be as toys
To keep us all from sleeping well
and get us angry for it
And make our neighbor think it's Hell
and swear at us just for it
To tell us all we don't deserve
the better part of life
When silence lets us sleep in peace
and mayors know to stife
It's a time like this when I take a trip,
a mental one in which I am a child,
riding on a carousel without a care,
feeling the circular air blow in my hair.
The animals on the carousel beg me to ride,
I choose the one which is most colorful,
a horse with a red saddle and a blue body,
gives me a ride which is not shoddy.
Time on the carousel gives me relief
from the inconveniences of life I have lived,
being an adult has its ups and downs,
trying to forget the stife which drowns.

A melancholy morning to a melancholy day
Slowly passing by untill a melancholy night gives way
Then comes the melancholy week then the melancholy month is here
Travel through the next eleven and then comes the melancholy year
A melancholy decade and then a few more
And then you will walk through melancholy centuries door
As you lie within your melancholy bed and think back on your melancholy life
You try to understand what happened to cause the pain and stife
Will the answer come to you will you finally understand
That life was always with you, in the palm of your hand
All you had to do was release it and let it go
And then you would have had a grand life to show
But you clung to life afraid to let it go
And melancholy then set it in and life had lost its glow
MY GOD IS MORE THAN ENOUGH
My God is more than enough
My Lord shall provide
All that I have
Is yours
You whom I adorn
My God is enough more
My Father still opens door
And allows me to walk through
The valley of misfortune, troubles and stife
He alone saves my life

written words by James Edward Lee Sr.©2018
There was a time in my life
Filled with hate, filled with stife
Felt the weight of the world, let it break my back
So I went on the attack, venomous words with no tact
I would simply react with no thought but my own
A heart turned to stone, I wailed and I moaned
Feeling oh so alone, it was me against them
My cup runneth over, hot hate to the brim
A house of hurt is no home for a soul
I dug a grave but didn't even fit in the hole
So now at this time in my life
I'm blessed with my kids, blessed with a wife
I see the world as a whole, i'm glad to be back
Running a new course. a positive track
My words I use, think through twice, maybe thrice
I try to be nice, and hope to entice
Others to do the same, this life is a gift
Too short for anger and blame, rise and uplift
DREAM ON DANIEL
A chronicle of a righteous man of old
Who brought King Darius into the fold;
Understanding writing on the wall
Prophetic interpretation his spiritual call;
Daniel ,a man faithfilled in prayer,caused
Darius to cast him into the lion's lair;
A guardian angel to Daniel was sent,
So trust in God received royal assent;
Dream,words and visions filled Daniel's life
He proclaimed God's truths ,without fear or stife;
A regent of Babylon for its kings
Of Shadrach,Mesha,ch & Abednego, we now sing.

How many times do you ask "why me"
Throughout your daily life?
How many times have you been blind and couldn't see
The happy times instead of stife?
I know those times are very rare
When your life is going well
There are those times when you really care
And you picked yourself up when you fell
Its been so hard to do sometimes
But you did it anyway
You put away those awful crimes
That had you going astray
Your proud to be who you are
And you've changed your ways for the good
Don't turn back now you've come this far
Hang on to it if you could
So keep on keeping on for you
And don't ask "why me" anymore
Forget the things that make you blue
And let others have that chore
Because life is too short to never reach
Beyond the weariness
Be loving, be kind and try to teach
Beyond the dreariness
Tammy Ann Rose Snyder
As I sit in my room,
Through the morbid like gloom,
I think of a way,
To finish the day...
If I slit on my wrist or leg,
My friends will only plead and beg,
For me to stop my evil ways,
And make me to live another day...
Only through my days at home,
I feel like I am all alone,
Even through the pain and stife,
I make it through another night...
As I sit in my room,
Through the morbid like gloom,
I slit my wrist as though in fright,
That I might live another night...
I'll leave the knife on the shelf
For just one more day
So i wont kill myself
Cause it's only myself I'd betray
I'll sit in the shadows
Dreaming of open meadows
Where I can cut myself freely
And do it ever so joyfully
I still wait for someone to care
Someone who my pain they can bare
Somebody to take this knife
And someone to end this endless stife
You are a chosen woman,
Made with power, style and grace,
God looks for opportunities to put a smile on your face,
With victory in your veins,
You can conquer and obtain,
When the pressure gets to hot,
Remember Jesus has been in your spot,
You are special and unique,
All you need to do is seek,
His mercy and understanding,
And you’ll see it’s His love that’s handing,
You, all the strength you need for this life
Don’t fight or seek out any pointless stife
Rejoice in justice and relax in peace
For when it’s over you will feast
On eternal blessings and everlasting love
From the one who lives up above
But also lives amogonst our hearts
Don’t ignore or tear apart
The special gifts inside of you
To his will you must be true
And when the battles overtake
And you feel the earth under you just shake
Know that you are never alone
You’re a special creation being sown
In the Potters hands there can never be a clone
Be the best you that you can be
And watch how your life will be filled with ecstasy
Watch the enemies of your soul permanently flee
As you walk in your full destiny.

When you are going through troubles
and stife, feeling that life is too tough
and you simply have had enough,
When the stormy winds are rough
and life is full of pain and
dispair
may you always remember there is
always a rainbow after the storm
with Sunshine to wipe away your
tears of rain
and tenderly binding
up and healing your many pains.
At times like these, true friends are
there to support you through
by comforting and caring
for you.
Unburden your heavy heart
sharing with a dear friend
in every part.
Keep your hopes shining as bright and
as Warm as The Suns radient Light
Throwing all your troubles behind
into the darkness of the night helping
you to rest your weary mind and
sweet and pleasant sleep you will
surely find.
Friends are there to help us our troubles
in life to bare, They are always
there in times of need, to show
their loyalty in word and deed.
Their kind acts and caring
concern is what makes our
hearts love them and
to be a good friend
in return.
Friends add meaning to
one's life, comforting oneanother
through the Sadness,heartaches
and stife.
True Companions are both
Precious and rare,
they always show how much
they care,
their friendship is
always there and will
blossom and grow as the
years come and go,
A True Friendship will
never die, if cultivated
will continue to add
beauty to one's life
making it worth living
and in a friendship the key
is to be freely giving towards
the other and take genuine
interest and concern and
look out for oneanother.
