Jessy - a friend I had

by Pratap Rudra   Jan 18, 2015


Jessy was her name
A friend I had so dear
Tiny were her hands and feet
Her eyes so innocent and clear.

Jessy was her name
A friend I had when young
Dancing was her favorite
I played her flute and drum.

Many a stories I told her
Of fairies, fantasies and friends
She listened to me in apt glory
As time wrapped us into one.

Jessy was her name
A friend I had when young
She came in like a birdie
To show me a rainbow spectrum!

Innocence and childhood are rare my friend
It's a balance fragile and new
It's a space where every child is born
That's where Jessy and I grew.

    What a beautiful dedication to the girl you used to know although I feel that possibly you are still friends but you are just talking of the times you had before.

    Innocence and childhood are rare my friend

    It's a space where every child is born
    That's were Jessy and I grew.

    This stanza is so pure. Children are so innocent aren't they? The way you describe the friendship here is beautiful. I feel the 'were' on the last penultimate line should be 'where' though
