Reflections of Jesicca

One of my long term employees is getting married this month. I wrote this today for her wedding shower at work. I think it describes her well.

Reflections of Jessica.

 

Like a willow,

Flourishing at the pond’s edge,

She bends, graceful maturity,

Dancing flickering green shadows,

Glistening silver promises,

 Of wind rippled time.

 

The world around her picnics,

Happily playful to be near,

Comforted by her shade,

A steadfast figure of feminine,

Loyal in friendship and obligations,

Mothering the next generation.

 

She is promised now to flourish,

Transplanting her beauty,

Trusting to be husbanded,

Within a garden she was born to know,

Whispering faith into a quiet wind,

Loved ones smile as they gather in her joy.

She was born to know, to share and to appreciate life and friendship even her employer of great integrity. As she transplants her beauty, your beautiful poem transplants us into her wonderful world and self with snapshots of excellence. Thank you for sharing...:)..................

Thank you Julie It is easy to write poetry for people who inspire you on a day to day basis. I am very lucky to have a group of talented people working with me as a united team. It is a dream come true.
