To Jamie From the Men in her Family Who Knew Her So Well

Once upon a time, Jamie had a birthday and received beautiful poetry from her

brothers and father that only her immediate family could ever appreciate.  Enjoy.

“One day a fair maiden was a walking

the next day the same fair maiden was a sleeping

the day after that the maiden was typing

and then she was sleeping again.

then she wrote in her journal and read her scriptures.

Bwahahaha!

Jamie is blue

So is byu

she likes turtles

And her name isn’t Murtle

********************************

There once was a girl from the coast

Who often and loudly did boast

Of her intelligence vaunted

her flute playing she flaunted

Until she was killed and came back as a ghost

-  from Dallin

Though it seems that you might favor the flute

or even a piano for your noisy pursuits

if anyone knows you

they see it is untrue

compared to your sports volume you’re mute

Jamie, Jamie

What can I say about you?

You are amazing

All of the things you do

If I were a better writer

I’d come up with words to-nighter

But since I can’t,  I‘ll do a little dance

And just say that I love you

-from Dad
