For Jack from your Jill
by
Jill Sharon Kimmelman
For Jack From Your Jill You live inside my heart whisper sage wisdom every day my imagination soars as never before spiraling beyond all earthbound dreams
You longed for my happiness for your daughter’s sweet smile to return your compass, a father’s pride to find the perfect man to learn who I am adore me worship me as you did me in turn
Somehow you knew just how it would unfold from love-driven desire you envisioned it all where the dance would lead us how the chips would fall this tale of love unveiled itself just as you foretold
First you had to find him not an easy task then to understand his journey anticipate the questions only you knew I would ask
Education, profession each met your highest bar yet gave no hint of challenges ahead would he make your dreams his own make me his shining star
Surely you had doubts he had to be a man of honor my kindred spirit what exactly was this guy all about?
A man of the backwoods his camera never far images of forest paths midnight starry skies you searched deep within his soul sought to embrace the lamentation of his plaintive cries
His heart was but a satchel for his unheard pleas along with prayers, plans, schemes hope lived on it flourished emboldened by his dreams
Living each day within love’s tapestry basking in its golden glow like fine wine, a love enriched by age as Yeat’s poems, each more beautiful when we turn the page
We are pieces on life’s board of chess each move an answered prayer delivery of dreams once I was your very own princess now, I am his newly-crowned queen
You would love him Dad be proud to call him son his love is true he treasures me like the rare gem you always said I am
Though we cannot if only we could never go back what an extraordinary gift it has been to be the Jill to your Jack
When my time is nigh I know I will not be alone for you will be there waiting arms open wide to embrace me re-claim me joyously welcome me home.

I LOVE recalling that very special gathering, sharing individual poems w/ a collective spirit & a dedicated hope for our goal of non-violence throughout our world, on the anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday.
With love & celebration in my heart, I offer this song of peace to all of my poetry brothers & sisters from every corner of our Mother Earth.
Let Peace In, an original song from the lyrics of this poem, produced by Tim Little & the framework for this inspirational poetry video created by Sparrow Productions in Sri Lanka in November of 2016.
