Beautiful Jessica

Twenty seven years 
You came to this world
Small and sweet
First time our eyes met
Connection was there 
I will never forget

Sweet smile 
Little arms  
Reaching up for a embrace 
I came to see you 
Every day 

First words you said 
In my mind always
Will be set

You are your 
Mom’s pride and joy
She wanted you
For a long time you know

Every time I phoned
I heard a cry
Your mom could not 
Leave you with anyone
I asked please let me try

You are grown up now
Blossomed to a beauty 
I wish you could believe 


You can’t 
What is happening 
To you my pretty?
 

Food became your misery 
Wasting away day by day
I pray to God to guide you his way.

To show you what you do  
Depriving your self of food
God gave and blessed 

Please don’t make your self sick
I don’t want to see you looking like death
Shine your beauty show it to the world
Let your voice sing and be heard

I do love you like you are mine
When you were little we spent 
Together allot of time
Take good care my precious girl
Your kids needs you 
We love you Jessica

Wow! This is so well written and oh so sad. Does she have Anorexia? I hope she is recovering or better yet recovered. See you Wednesday.
