My son Jesse

              Jesse my son.

Jesse, Oh Jesse, how handsome you've grown,
l thank God that he gave you to me on loan,
Your the child l dearly wanted to keep,
You gave me much joy, you were so sweet,
l felt you spin, roll, kick and bump,
l patted your head and you'd sometimes jump,
l sang you songs and read stories from books,
Some people would give me unusually strange looks,
Oh l remember when you came along,
You entered my life and l felt so strong,
You gave me purpose, you gave me love,
My life was worth living with a gift from above,
l held you so gently and cried with great joy,
So thankful to God for giving me a boy,
Pain faded fast then disappeared,
l had no more worries and nothing to fear,
l love you Jesse, l find it hard to explain,
You gave me so much that l can't ever repay,
You are so precious, l want you to see,
I'll never stop loving you, it's impossible for me.
