Old Man James

Old man James is the smartest man I know,
He can stretch a penny and make it grow.
Build a house with his hands,
Play an instrument that will make you dance.

Old man James can do it all.
He is always willing to help when you call.
He could have been whatever he wanted to be,
But because of fear, his dreams he flees.
He never travels far from home.
Occasionally he is in a crowd,
But he would rather be alone

It is a shame James was afraid to spread his wings and fly.
It saddens me to hear him say,
“ I’ll be this way until I die”
Take old man James and learn a lesson or two,
Do not let fear keep you from what you want to do.

Ps. 118:6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

If God be for me than who can be against me?
