The Gift of Song

I like to sing along to the radio especially when I drive.  After one such session with Mama Lai in the car, I lamented that Mama Lai did not bless me with the gift of song.  Mama Lai remembered:

"When you were five or six and started to go to church, they would lead everyone in song.  You didn't know how to sing, but you would get so into the music that you would just shout the words at the top of your voice.  And the Sunday school teachers didn't know what to do.  You weren't singing, but you did it with such enthusiasm."

And then she paused and laughed at me:

"And some things always stay the same."
