Sing A Song

My favorite band of all time is Earth, Wind and Fire. They have a song titled "Sing A Song" that I love to play all the time. Something about me that some may no and others do not is that I love to sing. I come from a family that enjoys singing. So of course I am going to expose my little girl to music. Country music, club music, techno music, R&B music, rap music, neo-soul music, gospel music, worship music, jazz music, band music, classical music, you name it I will play it.

Music does a lot for a person. It can help calm them down. It can help turn a bad day into a great one. It can prepare you for worship. It can also tell stories. Music is universal, it touches every ones soul.

So yesterday and today I decided to sing with C.J. i am talking a full blown one on one jam session. Now we did not get past the warm up stage but we are well on our way. I have started with a simple "ah". "Ah" for a short time "ah" for a long time. I would say sing it and then C.J. would look at her daddy and laugh. She then would open her mouth but nothing would come out. I saw her trying and I know I had a connection so I kept on demonstrating and by the tenth time she did it! C.J. did exactly what I wanted. I celebrated her success and told her to make sure she practiced at the baby sitter today.

Music is what gets me through the day sometimes and already C.J. and I have our best times listening to music. Our favorite song to listen to and dance to is "Your Joy" by Chrisette Michele. We also jam to "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind and Fire. When we are together listening to music are hearts are in sync. C.J. in my arm, me looking at her and her looking at me. It is a magical moment only the two of us will ever be able to share or explain. So C.J.;

When you feel down and out
Sing a song, it'll make your day
Here's a time to shout
Sing a song, it'll make a way
Sometimes it's hard to care
Sing a song, it'll make your day
A smile so hard to bear
Sing a song, it'll make a way

Bring your heart to believing
Sing a song, it'll make your day
Life ain't about no retrieving
Sing a song, it'll make a way
Give yourself what you need
Sing a song, it'll make your day
Smile, smile smile and believe
Sing a song, it'll make a way
