[hometext] => I wrote this poem as I sat beside my daughters bed the night before she died. I am not a poet, just a father still greiving the loss of a child. Jessica was 4 1/2 years old
[bodytext] => Jessica you were born to us the perfect little girl Hair so blonde and plentiful, of waves and little curls A face so full of beauty for all the world to see And then your disability made you dependant on Mum and me What God missed with your muscles He made up with your heart And an incredible strength of character that set you worlds apart Your laughter and your smile would make us all a shine Especially in the mornings when we were grumpy most of the time Everyone adored you, with your cheeky little grin With wisdom well beyond your years you could always get them in But four short years later God has called you to His side Although we feel great sorrow we let you go with pride You grew with us and helped us grow in so many ways With makes this time of passing an incredibly saddening day Your brothers they will miss you as you made up part of their world But I know they feel they are lucky to have known such an incredible wonderful girl Although the grief upon us will last forever more It will ease in the knowing that you are at heavens door And through the tears we cry and the feelings of sorrow and of pain Oh Jessica, our sweet baby we look forward to the day we’ll meet again We love you darling Your Mum and Dad Lord, give us strength 14 July 1998 [comments] => 9 [counter] => 309 [topic] => 39 [informant] => dollis [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
