POEMS

Poem - Jess

6/7/2011

0 Comments

 
Ah, Jess you’re the best
With your auburn hair with curls at the end
Your dazzling smile and shining braces correcting the bend
In your beautiful teeth – an aid you’ve been temporarily lent;
Your natural beauty was meant.
Ah, Jess you’re the best.

Ah, Jess you’re the best
Your brain is so active, it’s way ahead of me,
Your mum and dad and Tom can easily see
Where you’re heading.  A  life full of achievement
Your hungry mind was meant.
Ah, Jess you’re the best.

Ah Jess you’re the best
Your sailing is legendary
In our family.
Continuing the tradition of Mum and Dad’s bent;
Your passion was meant.
Ah, Jess you’re the best.

Jess you’re the best
Your fashion is young
Feminine, fresh and fun
Your petite and fit frame is cool – and elegant.
Your style was meant,
Ah, Jess you’re the best.

Yes Jess you’re the best
With your frown, and fury at times.
I can only find
A surpassed giggle and pride at your womanly vent,
Your strength was meant.
Ah, Jess you’re the best.

But do you know the best of you Jess?
What is really the best?
It’s your softness, your compassion, your thought and your care
Because it’s that that is not meant
But it’s the way you have lent
With free choice.  It’s from you.
You have chosen your truth
Of how you are, with friends, at school and at home.

If your aunt can be so bold
And if you don’t mind being told
You will never ever lose your beauty, mind, passion, your style and your strength
If you continue to be kind and care, and to respect the gifts you’ve been sent.
Ah Jess, you’re the best.

You be true to you; always.  Always speak your mind
Be strong.  Be yourself, and you will find
That you will be OK, you will be safe and be loved
Because it’s all of the above

That makes you, Jess,
The best. ​
