James Concert

James Young Voices 2012

We had the opportunity to put James in a children's choir this last semester, and his concert was just a few weeks ago.  As I sat and listened to the beautiful sounds that were sung by these amazing young children, I thought back to the day that James was placed in our arms by his amazing birth mom.  I remember that before she brought him to us, she rocked him and sang to him, leaving her voice as an eternal imprint on all of our souls.  As I sat and listened to him that evening and reflected on the lyrics of one of the songs that he was singing, I could not help but feel that he was returning that gift of song, to her and us.  It brought me to tears, to realize what an amazing blessing that we have been given!  I wanted to share the lyrics as follows:





Irish Friendship Wish
by Ruth Elaine Schram

May there always be work for your hands to do
May your purse always hold a coin or two
May the sun always shine on your window pane
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain
May the hand of a friend always be near you
May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you
Keep this wish safe in your heart even though we may be apart

Sing this song and it will remind you someone sends you this friendship wish
