It's Over!


"Chord" that is.  Abbey was in a choir for several months which recently ended with performances for the Dragon Boat Festival and Children's Day.  I am really proud of her for sticking it out and sorry to say that she dreaded it more than enjoying it.  On an almost daily basis she would ask, "Is it chord?  Is it chord?"  She just couldn't seem to say choir and her Friday's became a mix of being thrilled for art class with teacher Amy and enduring choir practice. It was just 45 minutes, but for her it seemed really long. She did learn a lot of great music that I loved hearing and I will always remember these last few months full of her constantly singing this...

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee,
Op'ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
Earth and heav'n reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee,
Center of unbroken praise.
