she's been my friend from the beginning
always giving hardly ever taking
freely she gives her love to me
she gave me a world i've never knew
foolishly i took it
and found out later
she made me grow wiser
into the man that exists today
carefully she nourishes our children
she'll find her way into my dream
soon before i awake
a joy will heal my heart
and a peace to calm my weary soul
jessie's cup
so full & sweet
i can't wait to drink from jessie's cup
cause there i'll find all the love i need
just like she did from the beginning
will end each day as friends
husband & wife till we aged our lives
hiding the truth inside
the love will flow
and the tears will spill into eternal love
always growing
into eternal light
