My Name is Jessica
- My Name is Jessica -
My name is Jessica, and it means: “God Beholds”.
I do feel often, as if some higher power looks on…
Protecting me, cherishing me, and never it scolds!
My spirit shines brightly, as radiant as the hot sun.
Passionate is my fire, and divine is my spirit’s flame,
Yet human is my heart, and deep is my tenderness.
I am compassionate and caring, thinking not of gain,
As I try to help others, and to ease all their distress.
I have known much of sorrows, and of horrid loss,
But I have risen above it all, on wings of pale light!
In my passion’s fire, what need have I for the frost?
My eyes see beyond it, gifted with a keener sight…
And so I see the fitting nature of the name I do bear.
It is a gift, and I have received it with a willing heart!
If the body is raiment, then a name too we do wear.
And names are created, with meaning and with art.
Like the springtime blossom all filled with promise,
Such is my sense of wonder and my zeal for living.
I seek after love, happiness, and every: good bliss,
As I do try to remain humble, gracious, and giving.
If God beholds all that I do, then I think He smiles!
For although I am not perfect, I continue to strive…
Pure are my intentions, and purer still are my wiles.
I cannot be other than I am and what I am is alive!
I am a lady both of class and too of noble bearing,
And yet, I look down not upon those around me…
Whilst of myself I am both considerate and sharing.
The beauty of my name is ever visible for all to see,
For it lies in all I am, all I do, and all as I ever was!
This is more than just my nature, it is: my essence…
And I embrace it with gladness, without one pause.
In am more than the sum; I am a true quintessence!
To look for the meaning in name, deed, and soul…
Is itself, a quest for enlightenment that cannot end!
For the greater universe, is beyond all our control.
So I look to my rocks: each loved one and friend,
Which grounds me to what is important and vital…
A warm hand, a gentle embrace, a laugh or a kiss!
It is tragic that so many souls are selfish or spiteful,
Because the things I enjoy are what they will miss.
My name is Jessica, and let God behold my voice,
Singing with glory, these things that must be said…
Coupled with praises, of the most celestial choice!
We only stop singing when we are gone and dead.
So let the music play on, as I conduct it with joy…
To pass the time pleasantly, with those I do adore.
Let my spirit be playful with life, as if life be a toy!
I cannot do less, but I ever long to do much more.

That is one of my most recent pics, of me with my hair long and black. In this pic, I am wearing a pair of black harem pants, a black leopard print blouse, and a pair of high-heeled black leather boots. Totally Goth all the way! And totally me! Thus, I thought it went perfectly with this poem.
