Sweet Jessie

sweet jessie, forever missed.

God called on you all too soon, i say.
perhaps He has something else in store for you.
i know your family, so heartbroken, may think otherwise.
but i know you've gone to a better place.
where the pain no longer torments you,
and your illness no longer consumes you.

the calm you bring, the love you command,
that perfect wife, mother, sister, friend that you are,
makes believing that you are gone so much harder.
knowing that we're never going to see you again,
not being able to say goodbye to you in person,
because you're so far away, makes this so much harder.

i am sorry i never took the time, never dropped a line.
always took for granted that there will be a next time.

dear sweet jessie, you will be missed, forever missed.
