Sweet, sweet song

Tonight, I listened to my eldest son sing this song with his sweet voice. He learned it in music class at school and was excited to share it with me. It was a treasured moment. Today, I helped at the school for an hour. An educator had a note waiting for me. The note praised Asher for being well-mannered and considerate of others, it also praised our parenting. It was a very thoughtful note and I'm so thankful that the teacher took the time to share with me. I need to remember to take time to bless others with kind words too. "Arkansas (you run deep in me)" by Wayland Holyfield Verse 1: October morning in the Ozark Mountains, Hills ablazing like that sun in the sky. I fell in love there and the fire's still burning A flame that will never die. Chorus: Oh, I may wander, but when I do I will never be far from you. You're in my blood and I know you'll always be. Arkansas, you run deep in me. Verse 2: Moonlight dancing on a delta levee, To a band of frogs and whippoorwill I lost my heart there one July evening And it's still there, I can tell. Verse 3: Magnolia blooming, Mama smiling, Mallards sailing on a December wind. God bless the memories I keep recalling Like an old familiar friend. Verse 4: And there's a river rambling through the fields and valleys, Smooth and steady as she makes her way south, A lot like the people whose name she carries. She goes strong and she goes proud.
