When I met Lee, he was writing the poem “Love I Love” upon Trafalgar Square in London.
The poem goes like this:
Love I love, above the stars and below the sands of the sea,
Forever I will love you and know that you will always love me,
Temptation that may arouse my appetite and could cause you to frown,
I know could never, as you do, settle my appetite back down,
Your words of comfort and truth inspire my mind and lift my heart,
When I can see no future, you show me something to renew, to restart,
Your touch, so gentle, so sensitive and yet, so very profound,
In my moments of darkness, you shine your light all around,
When you have spoken to me and I have pretended, I had not heard,
Never did you become angry nor punish me, just quietly, patiently, you observed,
Thinking you had deserted me, left me, abandoned, alone,
In despair I cried myself to sleep, to awake to find that you had carried me home,
When I have left you, for my self-pity, for my anger and for my fear,
Although I would not acknowledge you, I knew that you were always near,
And since I have returned to you, promising that I shall never again leave,
I know that you will forgive me, if I were to hurt you or to deceive,
Flowing through all that I am and in all to which I shall ever amount,
It is only you that I shall ever fear and to you one day I will have to account,
All that I have said, all that I have done and all that I have thought,
For you are my wealth, my wisdom, my will and all that I am taught,
As you, you are my everything, my rock and my rod,
For you, love I love, for you my merciful God.
Besides writing beautiful poetry, Lee also dedicates his time to helping the poor and broken hearted people he finds on the city streets. Usually this is the homeless, but many times is is a passer by considering their way out of this world.
