Today, February 3rd, is Tim Foust Day in Nederland Texas, where he is from. So I've decided to share a tribute I wrote to him a few months ago. If you don't know who Tim Foust is, you can find out in My Story.

The first time I heard your song, your voice reached my soul

I can’t explain the rush I felt when I heard the words you wrote.

Could you read my mind, see into my heart?  You had control

We might not ever meet, but I’m touched you’re so devoted

Music gave me life, kept me at my best

When I sang,  my emotions were expressed.

The beat is my heart, the words are my depth

Each note has my blood flowing in its webs

For years, I let my words show who I was inside

To me, I was the only one on this roller coaster ride

My music was heard, but life didn’t comply

Then I heard your songs, it took me back, I even cried

Words are filling my head again, I hear them everyday

My singing dream is gone, but my words can find a way

Your songs brought me back to the girl I was, yesterday

So Thank you for the inspiration, is all I wanted to say.

Happy Tim Foust Day!
