Jesse

We started this journey in the high school halls

Just two young kids answering love's calls

In ninety-six, our first little blessing arrived

By two thousand and one, our growing family thrived

You worked so hard to build up our home

With a rock like you, I am never alone

Oh, Jesse, you’re a rare and tender man

Holding this family in the palm of your hand

Compassionate, funny, and fiercely protective

A reliable love, so deep and effective

You’d take the shirt right off of your back

With a husband like you, there is nothing I lack

Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful soul

With you by my side, I am perfectly whole

In two thousand and four, we stood face to face

Saying our vows in an altar of grace

Then two thousand and nine brought our youngest to light

Completing our circle and making it right

Through every season, you’ve been our strong wall

A hard-working father who gives us his all

Oh, Jesse, you’re a rare and tender man

Holding this family in the palm of your hand

Compassionate, funny, and fiercely protective

A reliable love, so deep and effective

You’d take the shirt right off of your back

With a husband like you, there is nothing I lack

Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful soul

With you by my side, I am perfectly whole

From the awe of the Grand Canyon’s deep, painted stone

To the shores of San Diego, where our memories have grown

Underneath the bright lights of our Las Vegas nights

You’ve guided our family to beautiful heights

Unique in your spirit, so giving and kind

A man like you, Jesse, is so hard to find

Oh, Jesse, you’re a rare and tender man

Holding this family in the palm of your hand

Compassionate, funny, and fiercely protective

A reliable love, so deep and effective

You’d take the shirt right off of your back

With a husband like you, there is nothing I lack

I can depend on you all of my days

For my husband, my Jesse, I give all the praise
