JZ UNLEASHED

A Families woe's
 - if left untold
may claim a
strangle hold

So better we
 - whom do
take heed
Surrender our sorrow
 - to Thee

And in doing so
we lift-up
 - our love for
Jimmy Z



A Son
A Brother
An Uncle
 - a Friend
Pure Love for us
 - had he

Yes, us!
"The Least of These"

THIS Humble
Servant heart's desire
 - was to
simply please



A Contractor
A Carpenter
 - his business
was a ministry

Transformed houses
 - into homes
while impacting lives
 -  for The Throne
James did so!
WILLINGLY



He shared His
Experience
Strength
And Hope
 
Helpfuly led
any newcomer
  - still struggling
to cope

and like his smile
  -  bursting forth
You'd learn to work it
  - 'cause of your WORTH

His personal investing
(in us)
was such a Blessing



And finally a Waterman
 - who's stoke today we honor
Taken too soon
 - yes?
Nor should we question our Heavenly Father

A decision made
 - at The Lane
To paddle or to hitch?

This proud man
 - followed God's
perfect plan
 - and never considered which

For Surfers know
 - when pushed
below
Up His Leash
 - we must climb
And as we cling
 - to The Vine
Through our Strife
God's hand
WILL
 - lift us to
Eternal Life



So like James
We should each
keep growing
 
In Christ likeness
 - as did he

And be certain
of your future
 - knowing
 
Jim has been
 - gracefully
set free

HAIRY BIRTHMARK - to moi
-------------------------------

Letting go is a gift for myself
if i choose
to end an addiction
of internalized abuse

at a young age i thought
shame was mine - alone
constantly replaying memories
to understand what I'd done

the chaos, the lies
love cast aside
myself i dispised
in-difference i saw
when i looked in my eyes

complicated my life
old behaviors worn blind
sought any relief
to get out of my mind

fought all, did drunk, been coked, smoked rope...
groped, felt, bent, prone, all chillingly bare
yet never emotionally exposed

till bottom hit – not once - twice - three;
got chained and fired, drop kicked-out.
got to pay the price
my only friend  - a JD - to whom i pay a fee
plus a mortgage and rent
yet for only me

Higher Power never left me
in His hands my life's re-newed

This pain's mine – it WON'T hold me down
that i am alive to FEEL IT is a miracle - devine!
my brain through spiritual growth - retrained
and self-worth i WILL re-claim

i choose to trust – My Lord completely
in His way – Give Praise And Glory!!!
Walk this Path - in His light
Join us on our Eternal Journey...
