I had concern you know
When you were little
Engulfed in the world of darkness,
Confusion and chaos!
You were withdrawn, lonely and quiet!
And yet I observed
You had wisdom beyond
Your tender age!
You created an invisible fence
To protect yourself
You knew how to keep away from pain and conflict!
They said you were slow
In your development
And in your learning skills
Oh! What a cruel world, we live in!
You’re love of gardening
Brings you such immense joy!
Planting, weeding and watering,
Apparently excites and invigorates you
Remember, your sweet sonorous voice
Is a special gift
Your singing enthrals your fans
You bedazzle everyone
With your melodious voice!
Now it is apparent to all
That you are a survivor
A person of special ability
To have overcome your childhood traumas!
Jennifer, you are going to be fine
Be strong, independent and free
Create your own mould
And be the person, you really desire to be!
