Jesse’s Song

By: Sandra bouressa

I gave birth to my son Jesse 33 years ago. It was a home birth and unusual for that era. My mid wife was late so I gave birth in my room alone. God was with me, and the room was filled with the Holy Spirit as the most beautiful child was born. I name Jesse. Biblical and special. I loved being pregnant. I always have! What a blessing it is to be able to give birth. He was the second of my three children. But as GOD gives you birth, He can also take away. READ ON……

JESSE’S SONG

YOUR BIRTH I GAVE

YOUR FINGERS SMALL

AS TIME WENT ON

YOU GREW SO TALL

I FEARED AT FIRST

I WAS ALONE

AS I GAVE BIRTH

INSIDE OUR HOME

AND AS I LAY YOU

ON MY WOMB

I HEARD GOD’S VOICE

INSIDE THE ROOM

HE SAID “I’M HERE, DON’T BE AFRAID.”

I THANKED HIM

AS I LAY AND PRAYED

I HELD YOU UP

“IS THIS MY JESS?”

I LAY YOUR HEAD

ACROSS MY BREAST

THEN FAIRIES PLAYED

AND ANGELS SING

I BLESSED YOUR NAME

A FAMILY RING

GENTLE WERE YOU

NO BABY’S CRY

JUST A SONG YOU SUNG

A WHISPERED SYE

I WATCHED YOU GROW INTO A BOY

ALWAYS LOVING

ALWAYS JOY

YOU WOULD COME AND SAY

“ I LOVE YOU MOM”

THE SWEETEST VOICE,

GODS CHERISHED SONG

THE TODDLER LEFT

TEENAGER CAME

THAT JESSE SMILE

REMAINED THE SAME

ALWAYS LOVING

ALWAYS KIND

AS HEAVY THOUGHTS

RAN THROUGH YOUR MIND

I FELT YOUR PAIN

A MOTHERS RIGHT

I NEVER LEFT YOU

OUT OF SIGHT

YOU LOVED SO HARD

WITH THOSE SO DEAR

AT TIMES I SAW

ONE LONELY TEAR

THE TEEN NOW LEFT

A MAN  REPLACED

THAT JESSE SMILE

STAYED ON YOUR FACE

THEN ONE DAY

GOD SAID IN WOE

“TODAYS THE DAY,

IT’S TIME TO GO”

HE PLACED UPON YOU

ANGELS WINGS

THE HARPS NOW PLAYED

AS ANGELS SING

AS A MOTHER I’M BROKEN

I WILL MISS YOU SO

BUT GOD DECIDED

IT’S TIME TO GO

MY SPIRIT IS JOYFUL

YOU’RE IN HEAVENS PLACE

WITH THAT JESSE SMILE

UPON YOUR FACE

I LOVE YOU SON,

MOM
