Jessie's Drum

Jessie’s Drum

A little girl with an imagination 
That went on forever
One day a cowgirl
The next trying to plug in your stuffed rabbit
We never knew what you were going to do next
You never ceased to amaze us
You knew who you were from the start
And you always marched to the beat of 

Jessie’s Drum

So much has changed
Through the years you have grown
The streak in you has gone
And as much as I hate to admit 
Won’t be long before you are all grown up
You are still just as sweet
And you are beautiful as well 
Marching to the beat of 

Jessie’s Drum

The biggest thing being that you know who you are
Not letting others talk you into things 
You know are wrong
Or that would compromise who you are
A teenager with a good head on her shoulders
A girl with a dream
You know you are who you want to be 
So no matter what others may say
I know you will always 
March to the beat of 

Jessie’s Drum

And because of that I know you will go far

By: Jean Shular

For Jessie
I know your dreams will come true
Just like I know you will always be you
We love you

This is certainly beautiful Jean. We all have that special spark of love, given by the maker Himself that makes us unique little Agape copies. The spark of which none are exactly fulfilled in the same way. So also is Jessie. Sincerely, Love, Moses
