This is my friend, Gary Lee

Gary Lee is a gifted poet and a man of great compassion.  He is from Los Angeles, California, and had come to New York State when his mom became sick with a terminal illness.  He and his family came to visit me in July 2005.  I've been corresponding with Gary Lee and his family for many years.  His daughters call me "Uncle David."  

See Gary Lee's website and one of his poems below:

WHAT THE WORLD WON'T BELIEVE
10/13/07

THE CRIMES AND PUBLICITY,
HAVE BEEN KEPT ALIVE,
BUT AFTER YEARS IN PRISON,
THERE'S BEEN A SON RISE.

IN THE HEART OF DAVID,
ONCE KNOWN AS SAM,
GOD CAME TO CLAIM,
AND RECREATE THIS MAN.

ALL HATE AND VIOLENCE,
WERE WASHED AWAY.
HIS DEBT OF SIN,
THE LORD JESUS PAID.

SAM WAS CRUCIFIED, 
SLAIN AND BURIED.
TO GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT,
DAVID'S SOUL WAS MARRIED.

A BRAND NEW CREATURE,
IS WHAT HE BECAME
ALONG WITH HIS ADOPTION,
GOD CHANGED HIS NAME.

THE SON OF HOPE
OPENED UP HIS EYES,
AND EXPERIENCED FREEDOM,
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.

ON THE NEXT MORNING,
AFTER HIS CONVERSION, 
HE WALKED THROUGH SULLIVAN, 
A DIFFERENT PERSON.

THE WOLF THAT ROAMED,
NEW YORK CITY STREETS,
HAD BEEN PUT TO DEATH,
BY THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

A LAMB NOW LIVES,
IN DAVID'S CELL,
THAT KNOWS HOW CLOSE,
HE WAS TO HELL.

BUT FORGIVENESS BROKE 
THE SATANIC CHAINS.
GOD'S LOVE FOR YOU,
CAN DO THE SAME.

​DAVID'S NOW MY BROTHER, 
FOR ETERNITY.
WITH MY FAMILY I'VE WITNESSED,
WHAT THE WORLD WON'T BELEIVE.
