The following poem was written by 17 year old Jessi, who is a very special part of our family. Her Mama went to heaven when she was very young and she wrote this poem to her after reading a poem that her Mama had written years ago.
A Poem Written in Red
by Jessi Taylor
**********
Tonight I read you words,
A Poem Written in Red.
Tonight I imagine your voice,
as I think of what you might have said.
**********
I think you’d know my pain,
I think you’d understand me.
I think you’d know just how I feel,
for it’s you they see so much in me.
**********
I wish you were here,
I wish you could see,
the beautiful young lady
I’m growing up to be.
**********
You would be so proud,
I know it’s true,
and I wouldn’t have to say the words,
“Mommy, I miss you.”
**********
If you were here,
I would help you as I could,
we could have the best of times
just like we always should.
**********
Mother, Dear,
don’t leave me here
to live this life in wonder
take my hand and understand
I miss you more than hunger.
**********
I wish that you could smile at me,
and tell me I’ve done good.
I’d do anything to make you proud,
I so, surely would.
**********
Are you looking down from heaven?
Do you know who I am to be?
Do you miss me like I miss you?
When I smile, tell me, do you see?
**********
While you’re up in heaven,
could you ask God something for me?
Why did He let you leave so early,
when He knew how lonely I would be?
**********
Tonight, I read your words,
a poem you wrote in red.
Tonight, I try to hear your voice,
as I think of what you might have said.

I would appreciate more visual materials, to make your blog more attractive, but your writing style really compensates it. But there is always place for improvement
Hi, I’m Becky and I posted “A Longing Heart” blog for Jessi, who lives in a different state, so the small picture is what was available for me to post. I am learning new things, so hopefully my presentation will improve as I go. Thank you and have a great day. And I agree that Jessi’s poem is very good.
