Wesley

I’ve known your two brothers for most of my life,

But we never met till the timing was right.

The leaves turned to amber two years ago,

On a beautiful, crisp autumn night.

We finally spoke under clear starry skies,

And I saw a good man when I looked in your eyes.

Love is patient, and love is kind,

Not prideful or jealous, no boasting to find.

It’s never quick to anger, it’s steady and true,

Wesley, I see all these virtues in you.

You're wise and you're funny, you give from the start,

A generous man with a beautiful heart.

You were carrying sorrow when our story began,

Proving the measure and soul of a man.

Caring for your sick mother, so tender and brave,

Giving her all of the comfort you gave.

Till she closed her tired eyes to the world's heavy harms,

And woke up at rest in her Father’s loving arms.

Love is patient, and love is kind,

Not prideful or jealous, no boasting to find.

It’s never quick to anger, it’s steady and true,

Wesley, I see all these virtues in you.

You're wise and you're funny, you give from the start,

A generous man with a beautiful heart.

I watched how you loved her, I saw who you are,

A light in the shadows, a steady bright star.

The grace that you showed in the hardest of days,

Is the reason I’ll love you in so many ways.

'Cause love is patient, and love is kind,

Not prideful or jealous, no boasting to find.

It’s never quick to anger, it’s steady and true,

Wesley, I see all these virtues in you.

You're wise and you're funny, you give from the start,

A generous man with a beautiful heart.
