Jayse

You're the very first chapter, my firstborn son

The light of my life since your story begun

I remember those car rides, the music up loud

Just looking at you made me deeply proud

A little boy in the back, telling me where to go

Calling out directions, you already seemed to know

Navigating the streets before you were even grown

You've always had a compass that was all your own

Oh, Jayse, you're the light shining through my days

So honest and caring in a million different ways

You've got a patient heart, and a spirit so bright

I'm thinking about you, morning, noon, and night

I’m so proud of the person you continue to be

My firstborn, my world, you mean everything to me

I laugh when I think of the freezing cold wind

I told you to hurry before the snow settled in

Said "You'll turn to a popsicle!" to make you run fast

You thought I was holding a sweet treat at last!

From making up weapons and crafting our swords

To beating the bosses on your video game boards

You’re my Player One, always leading the way

You keep getting better with every new day

Oh, Jayse, you're the light shining through my days

So honest and caring in a million different ways

You've got a patient heart, and a spirit so bright

I'm thinking about you, morning, noon, and night

I’m so proud of the person you continue to be

My firstborn, my world, you mean everything to me

You're so patient and kind, with a soul that is true

It's the greatest adventure just watching you

No matter the distance, no matter the time

You're always right here on the front of my mind

Yeah, I think about you every step that I take

And I love you so much for the choices you make

Oh, Jayse, you're the light shining through my days

So honest and caring in a million different ways

You've got a patient heart, and a spirit so bright

I'm thinking about you, morning, noon, and night

I’m so proud of the person you continue to be

My firstborn, my world, you mean everything to me
