It's been a rough go for the world since January. But I remind myself daily as I'm searching for peace prayers or "patience the world will not end" prayers and "prayers for America's children," I also remind myself that there are still beautiful melodies around us and speaking of our beautiful Melody Beth Amoscato was just born on Valentine's Day ready to sing her song to the world. 

A song is coming

a new one

one that is delicate and joyful

easing the pain of the world's sorrows and creating a new song

of resilience and love and joy

reminding us there are better days

and better ways

A song is coming

you may not have heard it yet or know the melody that it sings

but it is living inside of you-ready to take flight when you are ready

and when you are ready for your new song

it will be ready for you

and it will be dressed in the finest dress or sweatpants

whatever dress that makes it most comfortable to sing its song

and it will sing quietly or loudly or maybe a bit of both

it will light your heart up in a million new ways and remind you

that a song is not just a song

a song is a dream

a new perspective

a freshly painted door into a world not yet traveled

a new smile ready to light up the world in brilliance

with tiny fingers and feathered wings 

we embrace the song we have inside of all of us

it cannot be tarnished or shattered

A song is coming

and it is full of love

Welcome to the world, Melody Beth Amoscato! We adore your soul already! May your song sing into the trees and high above the mountain tops!
