To Hays, on your birthday.

There’s more here than what we're seeing



A divine conspiracy

That you, an angel lovely



Could somehow fall for me

You’ll always be love’s great martyr


Ill be the flattered fool


and I need you


God gave me you for the ups and downs

God gave me you for the days of doubt


There are no words here left to say, it’s true


God gave me you

On my own I’m only


Half of what I could be


I can’t do without you


We are stitched together

And what love has tethered


I pray we never undo


God gave me you.


I love this song by Dave Barnes. And of course, every time I hear it, I think of Hays. I cannot imagine being blessed with a more wonderful man. He is an incredible husband and father. I can't think of many people who deserve to have an incredible birthday as much as he does. His sacrifices are many, and often his rewards are few. He is 29 today, and I would really love it if you would all comment to him and tell him Happy Birthday!
