I wrote this poem for my eldest daughter Jasmine, who literally gave her sister the clothes off her back the other day.
No big thing for most I know, but it overwhelmed me. The lengths she will go to to help her siblings knows no bounds. You make me so very proud… I love you Jasmine x x
Above and Beyond
Clearer than water my love running through
Clearer than crystal my feelings to you
Enough to hand you the clothes of my back
Enough to absorb your mood when black
More than the beautiful heavens above
More than life is how much I love
Reliable as the moon in darkened sky
Reliable as the sun that sets on high
Deeper than the ocean blue
The love that I hold
My sister
for you.
