Bonnie S. Lee

Newell, West Virginia, USA

My name is Bonnie. I am 46 years of age, and I live in a small town in West Virginia called Newell. I have one son, Christian Michael, and he has multiplied into three more blessings, by the name of Dea Christian, Paige Alesia, and Alevia Brianna; three lovely granddaughters. My interests are of the arts! I love singing and dancing and the outdoors. I have been writing poetry and song lyrics, since 1988. My first poem was ''Full Circle'' and was published in 1994 in The National Library of Poetry's ''At Days End.'' I have also had poems printed in local newspapers, and other anthology books by The National Library of Poetry. I am currently working towards a tape of my poetry, set to music, and working with my very dear friends, Kaye and Stan Hildreth, to produce a tape of our songs. All these poems, and songs, lessons in life; inspired.

Lady In Waiting

This lady in waiting chooses to wait no more!
I've been waiting and waiting, But waiting! What for?
For someone I love to be like me or at least,
The way I believe, they should be.
But wait! Step back! What do I really see?
Is this reflection in the mirror, could it be me,
I see? Or delusions of another time.
Am I ready to make this choice? Or, could it be
I'm waiting for another voice.
Or is this a case of reality?
I believe I may just need more time!
To sit on the shore, or whatever, I find
Helps me to sort out this mind of mine!
So, don't push or pressure yourself dear lady.
For, isn't this, the reason in life,
You always believed yourself to be shady?
So take your time; Relax that mind;
Until, the next time, you look in your mirror,
and the picture, you see, has become much clearer,
So, my Lady in waiting, you may continue to wait;
But, this time, the waiting is for you!

In the Beauty of Your Eternity

In the beauty of your eternity
is where my spirit lives
Placed under divine guidance,
it truly, begins to thrive!
With all these changes,
we've been going through,
it's evident, we'll survive;
this voyage, we are on,
called life!
What, a beautiful experience,
when your spirit soars;
through the eternities of time.
Acrossed the skies, of
heaven, and beyond; like a
great shooting star.
As, we, connect with our
creator.
In meditations of love and
well being, for all mankind.
To, innocently, take time to
sing, dance, and play.
In praise, of sweet anticipation;
For this, a brand new day.
In, the beauty, of your eternity.

Become the Salt

Believe in his promises; have faith
in his word; no matter what your eyes
may tell you, for your vision may become blurred.
Do not, allow yourself to be deceived;
for you know that God is not mocked!
So just ignore all the rest of it;
just let them talk.
He, is the truth; the only truth, so with
him, walk your walk.
Seek, and you shall find.
Ask, and it shall be given to you.
But, you must truly believe!
Right now, in this space and time,
Act, as though you have already found
what you are looking for.
Knock on that door! And know that it is truly opened unto you.
You need only to have the undoubting
faith, to walk through it.
And last but by no means least;
Be thankful; for what you have asked for;
And it shall be yours!
So, in the hardest of times, when doubt clouds our minds, look up, my friends
and sing!
Thank God! Beyond all reasoning.
For, through this all, if on Jesus we call,
We shall regain all of our seasonings.
