MUSIC Heals the Soul

 


When I think of music I have fond memories of my grandfather playing his harmonica while all five of us, his granddaughters, would sing.  My grandmother would sing too but she would always have her favorite song.  I can still her voice ringing in my ears “No Pops! Play” …whatever song she wanted to sing that night.  It was always so much fun and embedded in all of us the joy of music.  We would mostly sing religious songs like the oldie “Church in the Wildwood” which instilled in me the love of Christian music. It brings such peace to my soul to hear the comforting words written by others who seem to know exactly what I need to hear at that particular time. Sometimes I feel as though the words were written just for me. 

 It is true music heals the soul.  It comforts us.  It makes us happy.  It makes us hopeful.  It also inspires us to live and to dream.
