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.

There is nothing like a sweet relationship between parents and their children. More dads across the world should feel like this about their children...instead of abandoning them etc. Nice write for your girl. Valentine

Thank you Coyote Yes i am blessed with a daughter of inordinate beauty. she and my other daughter Aris are both quite fetching. I thank you for that and the compliment on the work,.I hope i did her justice

[Coyote Poetry]

You did. You are a very good dad. I love your books. You are next to Dryden and Jack London on my book shelf.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Coyote That is a great feeling thank you

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome.

[Bright Ocean Star]

I second the plea for Frieda. She's too darn talented to stay away, and she's too strong a person to give in to bullies and insane stalkers. This poem, however, is rife with love and sweetness. You write so easily, freely, with an open heart of boundless love. You've done your daughter a great service with this poem, Tate. She should feel honored to be described in these lines. Great work, my friend.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you She loves it. I am glad as she has deserved this for a long time now Thank you

[Bright Ocean Star]

you are welcome... Have you heard from our friend lately?

[Tate Morgan]

no she stopped emailing me at yahoo a few weeks ago but she is still stopping by here i see

[Bright Ocean Star]

I haven't seen her lately. I guess I've been missing her activity. She messaged me once to say goodbye a couple months ago. Noodley is looking for her, as well. Take care, Tate!

[Tate Morgan]

i see her visit now and then on my front page but no notes anymore

Aw, so precious! We to make a daughter feel special. I remember when my daddy wrote me a poem for the day of my wedding. He couldn't read it because he was all choked up and he had my uncle read it for him. It was deep from the heart and he expressed his love to me like never before. I love it!

Thanks for sharing Tate!

[Tate Morgan]

[Sharon L.H. Kelly]

What a beautiful tribute to your daughter! Her vivaciousness and sweetness radiate and shine through your words.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Sharon i was reminded by her last week that she was the only one that i had never written of So i thought it time i did something about that

[gabrielle]

What heart-warming dedication to a daughter! This piece more than compensate for those times that you have forgotten to write a poem about her. You are so lucky to have a daughter like her and she, too, is blessed to have you as a father. Beautiful piece.

[Tate Morgan]

Gabrielle Thank you I am in deed lucky

[Tate Morgan]

Hey Len nice to see you thank you

You've certainly done justice to Jessica now. She sounds like a wonderful girl.

Frieda's come back before, but I don't think she will this time...

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Marie I hope so
