Duet at Your Wedding with my Wife

What is it about singing that puts a smile to my face? Is it the awkward looks I get? Is it the laughter that spills out from the abdomens of my peers? Is it the requests I receive to eventually sing at one's wedding? Yes, it is all of the above.

My voice is awful. I will not deny that. I used to feel sorry for myself that I could never join a school or church choir. I used to ask, "why in the world I was not blessed with a talent that seems to come so easily to others?" No longer do I feel this way though because I like the voice I have been given. I like being able to sing and having everyone around me know that a well practiced voice will not be coming from my little body. I like being able to change my singing voice to fit the song and my mood. I feel that if I had a voice that was trained in tones and notes then I would need to maintain an air of dignity. But for my current circumstance, I throw all caution to the wind.

We all should have an outlet or a way to express ourselves in which we feel no resistance or qualms from others. Singing is my outlet, my sense of inner expression when I feel stressed, excited, depressed, or neutral. Singing is my release.
