Sing, Mothers! Sing!

My favorite quote from Sarah Plain and Tall: Of their prospective step-mother Caleb asks, "Does she sing?" The reply, "Tell Caleb I sing." Singing. Do we recognize this as an essential part of mothering? Caleb didn't ask, "Does she sing WELL?" Only, "Does she sing?" Sing to your children mothers, even during pregnancy, no matter if you are talented or not. With practice you will see improvement, but regardless, to your babes you will sound like an angel.

Since that prophetic day of old
the angel’s words have oft been told:

Unto you I bring good tidings of joy,
unto you this day is born a boy.

In a stable born of simple birth,
He was born to bring peace to earth.

His mother Mary had traveled for days,
When her babe came forth she sang God’s praise.

Her faith had earned her great reward,
she brought forth the Savior, our Lord.

Let us praise the Holy One, born far away in Bethlehem.
Let us praise the Prince of Life, who tasted death for every man.

All hail the babe called Jesus,
Son of the Highest,
whose kingdom shall never end.

Alleluia, Alleluia,
Praise ye the Lord.

Alleluia, Alleluia,
Praise ye the Lord.
