Come my friend, sing a song with me

This Child

May this child bring the gift of new life,
May this child bring the gift of joy
May this child bring the gift of himself/herself
As you walk the same path for awhile
May this child teach you teach you of love
May this child teach you of joy
May this child teach you of himself/herself
As you walk the same path for awhile
May you give this child your love
May you give this child your joy
May you give this child yourselves
As you walk the same path for awhile
As you walk the same path for just a little while.

Melody:
Here we are gathered together
Feeling our love grow strong
Then as we move out from this center
We can pass this love along
Low harmony:
Here we are gathered
Feeling our love - - grow
Then as we move out
We pass this love on
High harmony:
- - We are gathered
Feeling our love grow strong
Then as we move out
We pass this love along
Love is the Light
Inspiration for the songs:
Love is the LIght - this is the first song with lyrics that I ever wrote. I find that it still rings true for me 26 years later.
Eagle Soars - sitting on the steps of my teacher’s home waiting for her to return for my voice lesson, the wind was blowing and that experience merged with a dream I had just had about a 6-foot tall eagle.
I Am - I received this song very simply as a Native American type of chant-like song with just the rattle accompaniment and no drum. It has since been performed in quite a variety of ways: by a 60 voice choir at the Sunday morning service at an annual Unity Conference at Asilomar, CA where it got a standing ovation, by elementary school children using Orff instruments, and by a father and his two sons as a blue grass style song that everybody got up and danced to. It shared first place at a New Thought regional song writing competition in Olympia, WA in 1989.
One Voice In The Silence - written as an exercise at a Carolyn Conger seminar using a Native American song writing technique.
The Poppy - inspired by a friend’s dream and knowing that I had to let go of our friendship
Storm - as my flight descended into Seattle, I was impressed by the shift from above to below the clouds, thinking about how the sun is always shining, regardless of the presence of heavy cloud cover
Blossoms and Hugs - I woke up one morning with song for a church gathering celebrating spring to be held in an apple orchard later that day. Months later, at a choir rehearsal, one of the members’ daughter (5 yrs. old) said that she agreed with this song. She said that she was older and still needed hugs.
Rose Colored Glasses - facing a difficult situation, knowing that I needed to speak my truth
Special Friends - an experience I’ve had over and over since I first wrote the song - that sense of instant connection and deep communion with someone.
Come & Dance With Me - written as a wedding present for my gifted art therapist, Doug Gilbert, and his wife just at the time I was becoming aware that I would be ending my marriage
