[Verse 1]
She came into this world already old in her bones,
A composure around her like well-fitted stones,
The kind of girl who steadied the room without a word,
Who carried the weight of a whole house and never stirred,
She built herself upright before she'd learned to ask,
A crown worn so naturally it looked like no task

[PreChorus]
And we watched from the doorway, amazed and undone,
By how much she held without asking for anyone

[Chorus]
Jessica, we see the way you stand in the fire,
Not needing a hand but deserving the choir,
You don't have to hold every beam on your own,
Jessica, our door is still your door, still home

[Verse 2]
Her mind moves like two conversations at once,
Quick and warm and certain, she never fronts,
She notices the cracked cup before you've said a word,
Remembers what you needed from a sentence she barely heard,
Her love isn't declared from a stage or with flair,
It's folded into Tuesday, it's waiting right there

[PreChorus]
She gives herself fully and quietly each day,
But even the steadiest river needs rain on the way

[Chorus]
Jessica, you don't have to make yourself small,
Let somebody carry the last thing, let it fall,
You were built to be brilliant, not just to endure,
Jessica, your strength and your softness are sure

[Verse 3]
He matched her, the one that she chose for her life,
Not echo, not shadow, but equal in stride,
Two lanterns hung level, each burning its own,
She brighter in company, he steadier alone,
And the daughters they're raising have inherited her fire,
That bold, searching spirit that keeps reaching higher

[PreChorus]
We watch how she mothers with that lion-heart grace,
And we see our whole story reflected back in her face

[Chorus]
Jessica, the way that you love them runs deep,
Like a promise made quietly and faithful to keep,
You chose well and wisely, and it shows every day,
Jessica, your daughters will know just what love weighs

[Verse 4]
There's a searching in her that no answer will still,
A pilgrim inside her that climbs its own hill,
She's questioned the maps and she's drawn her own lines,
Found meaning in loyalty, in bread, in designs,
And the mission she's living — the home that she tends —
Is the truest and bravest of where purpose descends

[PreChorus]
And we want her to hear it, not just to suppose,
That she is seen fully — the ember, the rose

[Chorus]
Jessica, we have been watching you shine,
Since before you knew how to call any of it yours or mine,
You are daughter and sister and wife, you're a mother who glows,
Jessica, you are more than even you know

[Bridge]
She stands without leaning but leaning is grace,
There are arms that have waited to hold that brave face,
Let someone be steady for you, just this once,
You've earned every table you've ever set from the front

[Outro]
Jessica, this is your song and your name,
Carried in love that has never once changed
