Eb:hi
Me:for some of you that my not know me..im jamie im devon's youngest daughter jamie..*cries* ive been through alot over the years my dad has been by my side through it all i wrote a poem for him....*takes out a piece of paper*..........I believe when someone passes away
Either a star is born, energy so pure That it creates new worlds Or as the soul releases Shatters into pieces
Becoming free flowing thoughts For my mental thesis Maybe we just don't understand The spirits that still walk the land Or whatever the case
I believe that we all still remain To share the same space So dad, I know you're listenin' How you been?
Oh, I'm doin' fine, just passin' time Submerged in sin sometimes I take a bath
And just get all dirty again
I try to cleanse my mind, cleanse my soul and get in
Into that place you've been
No, I'm not tryin' to rush anything I just wanna visit you because I miss you
So what you tryin' to say?
My imagination been wild since I been a child
And since you're laughin' then I take it that good things are happenin'Eb:crying/clapping
Then i looked at my dad in the casket while crying i walked over and kissed his cheek
Me:i love you daddy
Eb went up to pay their respects i went up to teo and he held me as i was crying
Teo:you should keep on doing that
Me:doing what
Teo:writing poetry your good at it and it'll help you get rid of stress
Me:I'll tryWe left the funeral home and went to the burial sight we said our last good byes and walked to the limo and drove home hopefully i was right...good things are happening
