Jamie’s Song

She was a girl of Air and Fire
Of love and smiles and great Desire
I caught her on her way Uphill
Seeking dreams she would fulfill.

She had a ways to go she said,
She’d stop and stay awhile instead.
And for three years we laughed and sighed
“Where are my dreams?” she often cried.

Then off she flew from Coast to Coast
“To find my dreams!” she’d loudly boast.
To find the Path so right and true
To set her life aright, Anew.

And there he stood, her man of choice
To help her find her One True Voice.
Along came twins, so sweet and small
To fill the home with dearest Paul.

Then came another, with her Farewell
That angel whom we’d loved so well.
She left behind three babes so dear
To keep her dreams alive and near,

To show us all some hope in sorrow
That she lives on in their tomorrow.
And though our hearts are broken still
We smile at all her dreams fulfilled.

She’s only just a thought away
A memory of a sweeter day,
When Jamie Girl would laugh and dance,
And tilt her head and give a glance

Then rest her head upon our heart
To kiss our tears and then depart.
So, now and then I feel her wings
An angel’s song she often sings:

“Expand your life, your dreams and songs,
And find out where your heart belongs!
Be fearless in your deep Desire
And let yourself be Air and Fire!”

Love, Kennette and Barry
