Join The Song

This old gal…

Riding along listening to the oldies…

Was suddenly in junior again…on the bus…going to some event…football game…basketball game…softball game…

The bus jerking and jolting…kids bumping and bouncing…no cell phones or devices…just songs from the 70s coming through the speakers…

Drowned out by talking…laughing…until what to our wondering ears could we hear…

Wildfire…that overly dramatic song…girl has horse…girl dies…horse goes crazy…and suddenly…like a magic spell…everyone freezes…and everyone…absolutely everyone on that bus…

Starts to sing…eyes closed…swaying…emotional…

And for that brief moment…it didn’t matter who you were…jock…benchwarmer…cheerleader…band geek…all us junior highers…were one…one beautiful voice…

Navigating that bus ride of life…together…

And so it is…in life…you are not alone…find your people…find your voice…join the song…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
