Jim's Poems

Christmas 1994 Poems

All written and Copyright © by Jim Lee


Dad ("Archie")

So strict
So stern
Yet understanding
compassionate, and caring
Very conservative
But once was daring
Known as a martinet
Though can be forgiving
Nevertheless
he is my Dad
I give him my total respect
But sometimes I'm bad
I love him dearly
This is true
Unconditionally
No need of clue


My Mom (Gloria)

She's not a Mom
Who only cooks and cleans
She's not a Mom
Who only works for beans
She's my Mom
Who can do it all
Any task
Big or small
She may not always
Be around
But she's here
When I'm not found
She is my Mom
I love her so
And would never trade
Her for any dough


Michael Lee

A life at sea
He said was for me
Sailing on the ocean blue
To travel to far away lands
To lay his head on foreign sands
Was his dream come true
But the dream became bore
Traveling shore to shore
So he returned to the States
He found his joy
Square dancing to Roy
and worshipping God


Susan Deborah Vazquez

Eldest of three sisters
One with love for art
Busy in her academics
And fulfilling her heart
By marrying her sweetheart Johnny
And baring a son named Jose
Both who bring her joy
To this very day
To live, to love, to learn
and leave a legacy
a phrase she loves to recite
by a man named Stephen Covey


Juan A. Vazquez

A son of Mt. Carmel
Johnny, known to many
Can always bring about a smile
Or crack a grin to any
He loves to tease
And tinker with cars
But he commutes to work
On a bike with handlebars
He married his high school sweety
Her name is Susan Debbie
In Delaware they can be found
With their son Jose
Who can sometimes be naughty
Otherwise is okay


Steven Lee

The champion of darts
And a true sports fan
Who attends a game
Whenever he can
He keeps in shape
By biking for miles
But handling his kids
Is like lifting tiles
A good father he is
Provider of meals
Respect he deserves
For his life trials


Madelaine Lee

Homemaker and wife
Mother to some
Is always friendly
And would talk to anyone
About her house to keep
And her children three
About Super Nintendo
When time is free
She's handy with crafts
But busy with the kids
Yet cheerful she stays
Through all of life's fits


Judy Lee Mihelich

Sweet sister Judy
Who once was shy
But you would never know it
If you looked into her eyes
Glowing with spirit
And the fever of life
She is a loving sister
And a devoted wife
Who likes to cook
For her main man
And enjoys shopping
Whenever she can


Mike Mihelich

The master controller
Director to be
Looks for challenges
And unclimbed trees
But when he isn't working
He's either reading or sleeping
Because is job is very tough
And can be quite tiring
He resides in Atlanta
With Judy his wife
He is sure to prosper
In this game called life


Roger Owen Lee

Roger Owen Lee
One day he will be
A mechanical engineer
As soon as he gets sick
Of college and parties
And living in Gainesville
But for now
College life is for him
He always wears a grin
As a graduated TA
Teaching to the next day
Or coaching his crew
In a boat not a canoe
The future for him
Is very bright
With his Masters in one hand
And the world in his other


Marilyn Valli Lee

Sister, youngest of three
One who wishes to be
A successful business lady
Was very active in school
With studies and volleyball
Instead of procrastinating
In the convenient study hall
A sweet sister she is
One that loves outdoor sports
When she's not working all day
She is on the volleyball courts
