Jessica

My Daughter Jessica

I have a daughter Jessica

just as sweet as she can be

And every time I look at her

she is smiling back at me

 

She gave me all my grandchildren

with the joys that each would bring

Her face is bright as morning dew

like the first breath of the spring

 

A pixie of a girl for sure

who weighs but a hundred true

Yet has a heart larger than mine

or any I ever knew

 

Each time we stop by to visit

she suspends rules of the house

Lets me do whatever I want

the same as her loving spouse

 

Of my children she is the one

I have not done justice to

The truth be told it's all my fault

"oh Jessie I do love you"

Author's Note

Of late I had jessica and the kids over. In our conversations I realized I had been remise. I had neglected my daughter Jessica. Of my three children she is the only one I have never written of. Yet though I had not honored her with anything. She had given to me most of my happiest memories of late. I can't remember a time when I saw her that she didn't say "I Love You ' to me. She is the mother to Payton, Landon, and Eli my grandchildren. I am sorry. This is my fault. So Jessie I stand before you a repentant father and ask that you accept this from me as the first installment of what will likely be many more.

What a beautiful, lifting dedication of words and emotions. She seems to be such a light in your life... and I know you are in hers a well. Thank you for always sharing the depth of your heart and soul here, my friend.

Hi Craig thank you well jessica is a real sweet kid and i needed to do this for her. By the way their pictures are in my album of photos here now and so are the pics of the wedding of Aris which stunned me to no end I was beside myself with the beauty of it all

What is important is family members respect each and support them no matter what is going on inside our individual lives.
Parents aren't perfect and our children will learn those needed lessons as they go through life and raise their own offspring.
Great picture of your daughter and tribute is always nice to read!

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I have waited all this time to honor her when I thought she needed it most

[Barbara Walker]

Tate, this is so very sweet...I am sure she felt good when she read it. My experience has been that the words flow when I am upset or in a lot of pain, but I hope to start conveying my positive feelings, especially to the people who have loved me in the dark times of my life. Your poem is a great example for me.

[Barbara Walker]

A bittersweet day, no?

[Tate Morgan]

It was surely that

[Mélania Woolf]

How heart-warming! A very sentimental piece written with love... "like the first breath of the spring" what a beautiful comparison!
Thank you for sharing this with us!

[Tate Morgan]

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Andrew so nice to hear

How blessed, lucky, and fortunate ya'll are to have one another! I have found lately, as a Creative, I have in the past tended to write about the puzzles and conflicts. Those who I understand and am good with, I have had a tendency to enjoy them presently and not so much in writing. This is an honest lesson in learning to steep more in the things, and those, we enjoy rather the things, and those, we do not. Thank you very much for sharing this in earnest. An awesome, delightful, respectful, fun, and bright piece she surely appreciates!

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you it is much better to record for your better angels of nature than the demons It is hope that shines upon our lives and it is the light to which we like moths are attracted

[Melobldnfr]

Very, very true

[Einstein Noodle]

[Michael G. Smith]

A beautiful simple rhyme of truth. I also have daughter name Jessica who has given my awesome first grandson.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you michael. I am blessed to have her. it is always our responsibility to tell those we love what we value in them .It is because of neglect that we injure them forever. i cant abide that and had to rectify my mistake

[Michael G. Smith]

I've found often with my daughter that love is being a silent doormat but that's what being a father entails sometimes. I give, give, give and she takes, takes, takes but I know it's because she knows no better. (My ex taught her this)

[LauraraMonique]

Aw, I absolutely enjoyed this! :) Excellent job and you know, I have such a wonderful bond with my mother, this just reminds me how thankful I am for her!

Blessed Be
