I Sing

Dear Friends,
I am so appreciating your kind condolences. It truly means a lot.

On Saturday night, I had a fantastic night out with friends. It cheered me up immensely. It was for my friend Jake’s birthday! There were several spellers there. It was my first time singing karaoke! I loved it! It was such a supportive group. Everyone sang along and was having fun. I found it so liberating!

It was a bit tricky to find the beat initially, with the kind of weird karaoke version of the music. But Tara sang next to me to help me! I chose to sing My Girl by the Temptations. It is such a sweet and upbeat song!

I want to practice karaoke at home. I think it will be helpful for me in my efforts to be able to pace my speech. That is a big goal of mine! I rush so much when I read aloud and sometimes when I speak. Pacing my words will greatly improve my communication.

Also, I love singing! It is a reliable indicator that I am happy if I am singing. Usually, it is accompanied by boisterous jumping around! So I love finding the courage to sing along with friends. I was so shy at first, but I found I can overcome it in the right company.

I wrote this poem about my love of singing. I can’t wait for the next karaoke party!

Your Friend,
Danny

I WANT TO SING TO SING TO SING

I feel upwelling in my
Soul roughly where my
Chest meets my tummy
And it yearns to expand
Flow out into
The air the wind the sky
Beyond my all so limited body
Words all so free
Melodies created
In my throat and mouth
As the birds
As the bells
As my long-trapped
Dreams.
