My Jessie

I remember the day
I first held you in my arms

Your beautiful smile
Your hands so small

Our trouble were few
But oh, how the years flew

I closed my eyes
Only for a moment

How can this be
Where did time go

I wake up
and your all grown

boxes  now  strewn
all over your room

I wipe away the tears
So you cant see

Just how heart broken
I will be

When you leave me........
