A Song To Be Sung

I'm not amazing musically; actually, I'm not musical at all. I love music, but I can't sing it or play it. But, I think everyone has a song that if sung, fulfills their life. I'm not talking a song that someone hears on the radio and shouts, "OHHHHHHHH, that's my jam!" Rather, a song sung by individuals who pursue their passions, or at least pursue to know their passions. I think our songs can only be "sung" by us but can be listened to by many. When I learn the stories of others and write them down, I feel like I'm singing. When I feel like I'm singing, I feel like others can learn their songs too. It's like were birds or at least have the capabilities of being birds...we can all sing different songs but still sound harmonious together.I don't think life is about being rich or powerful, but rather learning my song, perfecting it, singing it, and encouraging others to sing their song too. I don't really love teaching, but I love watching kids learn to sing and for that, I'll write lesson plans, track data, and come before school and stay after school...I believe their songs are too beautiful to not be sung. So, although I am not musical, my life is undefiably defined by rhythms and melodies. When I write, I don't feel like I'm thinking; words hit the page and at times, I surprise myself. That is why I think my song is written to the tune of many people's songs. I love my song.


If nothing else, we're here to encourage singing, we're here to hear...

  1. The earliest instrument is the voice, one of the universal ties between all culture is song. No matter who you are you can sing, it feeds the soul. So keep on singing, no matter what form it takes.
