On this day, we'll share some songs - to lighten our load, to make us dance, to cause us to think or maybe just to simply be...
Here is a song my husband wrote for our daughters, called "The Joy You Bring" (ain't it the truth?). It hits close to home. Take a listen here: Joy You Bring
You were so sweet, you moved my soul
And taught me things, I never thought I'd know
You were the one who breathed new life
To a worn-out love and a tired wife
I didn't know my soul could sing -
Thank you for the joy you bring.
Every day was something new
I never thought my life could be so full
I thought I knew most everything
I didn't know my soul could sing.
Having you filled all my dreams -
Thank you for the joy you bring.
All the time I love you more
so proud of you, my heart just soars
You lift me up when I feel down
I feel so good, having you around
I didn't know my soul could sing -
Thank you for the joy you bring.
I'm so glad that you came to me
I was broken as a man could be
And there you were my little girl
You came to me and you changed my world
I'm so proud, I have to sing -
Thank you for the joy you bring.
lyrics: Steve Delgado
music: Joey Delgado, Steve Delgado, Bob Delgado
What joy! I love family and the soul that comes with it...

How wonderful to have a husband and dad who can put his feelings into words and song. He has such a pure voice.

Your beautiful song brought tears of joy to my eyes. How blessed your family is to have both the gift of love and the gift of music. As they grow, I'm sure your daughters will treasure their song more and more. Thank you so much for sharing that blessing with us.
