Jess

Just Jess.
You came to me more than ten years ago such an awkward little mess, I
couldn't figure what to call you so settled for just Jess.
I didn't think I wanted you but you put me to the test, I couldn't believe you stole my heart this little one named Jess.
It didn't take me long to realize that you were just the best, you and I
became inseparable, just me and my boy Jess.
The years went by so quickly we'd barely time to nest then one morning I
awoke and noticed your age was at it's crest.
We slowed down our romping and was content to lounge and rest as long as we
were together we were still so very blessed.
Then one day the doctor came and said "I think it's best", how my soul
screamed out in agony, my heart in great distress.
I beggedand pleaded - dear Lord I'm so defeated, you can't take Jess from
thee he's not done one thing wrong unless it's a crime for loving me.
How do we get through this, this is not a simple test. I held your head in
my lap as the doctor did the rest. I caressed your face so tenderly until
you drew your last breath. My hearts only half here now yet it still beats
within my chest.
Now my blue eyed boy is gone and I really must confess that I will never have
another love like my dearest Jess.
I laid you under the apple tree but I know that's not your address you've
gone beyond this earthly realm without me my dear Jess. I received no cards
or flowers, human friends I've not been blessed but that don't matter much to
me cuz' with you I've had the best.

Dear God above just say yes and open your heavenly doors for your next guest
he's not a shepherd, a profit he ain't he's just my Jess a four legged saint.

One last word before I close - you know you'll be sorely missed, did you fear because your not near that I'd love you any less? Soon I'll grow old as this story's told and I'll once again hold you to my breast, please wait for me near the rainbows glee because I still need you my just Jess.

I love you, mom
