Shea's first song

Last week we found out there have been quite a few break-ins in our neighborhood, including some good friends on the next street. After finding out about it, Shea asked if she could sleep in our room. She was settled in for the night and Robert and I were right outside the room in our dining room/office area talking when Shea asked me to come in and write down the words to a song she just thought of. It was the first verse and then over the next week, Shea wrote the rest.

My Family's Voices
by Shea Sawyer

I love to hear my family’s voices
They make me smile and say
I have a happy home
Filled with love and joy

When my Dad says let’s read the scriptures
And learn about the prophets
I feel happy all inside
To learn these sacred stories

Then my mother says it’s time to pray,
I bow my head and say
Dear Heavenly Father
We’re grateful for this day

And even when I’m sad or feeling lonely
I’ll remember the love I felt
When I heard my family’s voices

WOW. REALLY WOW!

Shea is going to work with a friend of ours to put it to music some time this week. We'll give you the finished song as soon as it is ready.
