LITTLE Jessie, darling pet, Do you want a Friend? One who never will forget, Loving to the end; One whom you can tell when sad Everything that grieves; One who loves to make you glad, One who never leaves. Such a loving Friend is ours, Near us all the day, Helping us in lesson hours, Smiling on our play; Keeping us from doing wrong Guarding everywhere, Listening to each happy song And each little prayer. Jessie, if you only knew What He is to me, Surely you would seek Him too, You would 'come and see.' Come and you will find it true, Happy you will be; Jesus says, and says to you, 'Come, oh come to Me.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HYMN TO GOD MY GOD, IN MY SICKNESS by JOHN DONNE IN MEMORIAM A.H.H.: 23 by ALFRED TENNYSON EPIGRAM by DECIMUS MAGNUS AUSONIUS HIS HEART, INTO A BIRD by PHILIP AYRES PSALM 70 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE THE PASSIONATE SHEPHERD: AGLAIA.
