Jessica Lynn

Always in my heart, always in my mind,
No greater gift in life shall you find.
Jessica Lynn brings me tremendous pleasure,
On this earth there is no greater treasure.
Granddaughter of mine of this be sure,
My love for you is unending and pure.
This wonderful child so fair of face,
In my heart she has found her place.
So loving and giving to all she encounters,
Bringing love and beauty to all around her.
Never could I hope for a granddaughter to be,
Anymore than my sweet Jessica is to me!

A Familiar Melody

Memory magic in a haunting tune,
Singing of love, the stars and the moon.
Music plays in a lovely way,
Easing the pain of another day.
Familiar strains ring in the air,
A melody of the heart for all to share.

Can This Be True?

He told me he loved me, can this be true?
You'll always be happy and never be blue.
We'll grow old together, that old refrain,
You'll never know sadness, sorrow or pain.
Can I believe him, can I be sure?
Is his love real, honest and pure?
Because I love him I know this is true,
His love for me of this I am sure!
