My niece Kayleigh
A beautiful selfless soul
Simply asked me how I was doing
When she herself was at her own
lowest point
So what exactly was her crime
Being to nice caring to much wondering
about others to much
And why on earth should she be the
1 who has to change so as to accommodate
others such as this
And even I sadly had to hold my hands
up
Because she asked me not the other way
around
So that makes her in reality so much
better than even I
And me asking her then after the fact
Just proves the initial point I think I
was trying to make in the 1st place
Actions speak louder than words
Some people speak and receive little
credit
Whereas some good folk do and yet
they don't
I know 1 thing above all else
in my life for sure
I sure do have a family that love me
Like I sure as hell love them as well
And that is all I need to know
Because that to me is family
And 1 true meaning of love
As what else do I need to know
Or can 1 single person want or wish for
Apart from giving or being loved back
By the only people in one's life that
Make life worth living at all
Like which is for me

Bianca my niece
Was spring cleaning the house
today
And came across a box of all
our old family photo albums
pictures and momentos
And found the poem my Father
wrote for Kayleigh my niece
her elder sister
And the reason I myself began
to try and write Poetry of my
own
So here it is
Kayleigh
Kayleigh is mixture of beauty
and beast
Barefoot and bareface but i love her so
The stature of a cat with all its agility
A fiery gaze and the finesse of a raging bull
If rebels are born the she on the list
Disasters beware she'll make you look tranquil
All innocent of course with no more malice
than a gentle breeze
A natural attraction to the bizzare
Lets no transgress nor detract from
this beautiful enigma
At the blink of an eye her face becomes
a treaure of pleasure
Eye's like entrances to heaven with an
alluring smile
You'll be entranced by this bouquet of beauty
When once my Kayleigh
And Bianca asked
Uncky Chris why is our sister
Schade treated different better
than us
I had to hide a tear welled and my
eye's glassed
As truthful the honest answer was
She is and was the blue eyed
golden child
And still today my replies both
hurts and stings
Because what is one to supposed
to say put in that situation
And given my beautiful niece's
are not fool's
Otherwise why would they have
felt the need to raise the question
And they do know as do i
My retort and response will
be a lie scrambling to pave over
They will never be treated the
same as the sister they refer
to as she called Princess
Because sadly she is the one
prized and loved most above
of them all
And thought i understand and
accept we all amongst us have
our favorites
Please dear god never make it
So damn patent
Children feel the need to ask
Kayleigh.
Crazy, wild, and free.
Runs around with a big smile.
Eyes gleaming brightly.
Tomorrow I fly
To my clan in waiting
And on Saturday
We celebrate
kayleigh
18 short years
I hope the pub has enough Beers
As she laughs us to tears
Because our Kay's without peers
The doorbell rings and there you stand
With cheeky smile on lips and in your eyes
Long ginger hair contained by Alice band
Unbridled joy I feel is not disguised
No age since you came upon this earth
An oasis in the storm of life’s woes
Too young were you to see or feel the hurt
Not knowing that to God one love must go
We gave you all our love and then gave more
Did not regret one second of that time
You repaid our love one thousand times o’er
You made our world a haven so sublime
I see you now leave your youth behind
And amaze with the passing of each year
You will always in our memory be enshrined
Granddaughter fair truly loved so dear

My dreams are so often true
i often dream of you,
lay next to me holding tight,

you can't let go
with every breath i take
i fall deeper in to you,
breath out breath in,
i can hear your heart racing
feel mine pulcing,
i look in to your eyes,
you look right back at me,
then that perfect moment
pure happiness
Kayleigh Jones xoxo
I could easaly fall in love with you,
despite thoes nasty things you do
in the past i have seen it in your eyes,
you always use your disquise
i see through your false love for me
altho i belived you once,
maybe its just not ment to be,
every time you said you loved me
weeks would pass, even months
come crawling back to me again,
to long has passed my heart cant take any more,
i let my guard down and you took the last peice
i love you and it hurts
unatainable, unhappy you
your a broken man in pain,
i will always be yours
you will never be mine
now your gone i wish youd come back
i just can't
i miss you....
Kayleigh Jones xoxo
You could ask me a question,
I would always tell you the truth
my heart pumps for you,
i breath only because i have no choice
sometimes i wish i was selfish enough to end it all
prove everybody right end it all tonight,
as the snow flakes fall
as the children rest there eyes
as i right all my good byes
one to you my love,
goodbye and im sorry
for the pain i caused
you can't help fate
but you went against destiny,
if i ended it all tonight
would you change your mind then?
Kayleigh Jones xoxo
