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.

When I first saw you,
I was so young,
a brown haired beauty
just turned 21
at the top-flight ballroom
lookin' for fun
Only God knew we'd end up
with all these daughters and sons

As rain falls on a window,
the years they've rolled on by
so much time has thundered past,
Now I'm looking out this pane of glass
at the life shared by you and I

God/Life has been good to you and me
we've managed to raise our family,
at times our pockets were empty,
but our hearts were always full of love

Yes, God/Life has been good to you and me
we've managed to raise our family,
at times our pockets were empty,
but our hearts were always full of love

All these years have rumbled past
and times weren't always fun,
my brown hair is slowly turning grey
some things I'd do another way
but I wouldn't change our path

'Cause God/Life has been good to you and me
we've managed to raise our family,
at times our pockets were empty,
but our hearts were always full of love
