You Raise Me Up


 I didn’t turn up for choir yesterday
It was a conscious decision !
I felt a little too brittle 
We meet weekly on zoom ( and have done for months)and sing in the confines of our own houses unheard by our fellow choristers but We are always buoyed up by lots of boxed smiles, Jamie ( our RAF faced choirmaster’s bouncy nature) and visits of Lyndi’s dog Charlie 
“ We can see your Charlie Lyndi!” 
Is often the joint call as her hairy mutt comes into view
And the whole rather artificial ( but supportive) meet is dovetailed by a robust and always emotional joint rendition of You Raise Me Up 
You Raise me up 
Is a true emotional romp 
It is a song that can make you cry when things are mundane 
When things are sticky, the whole piece can reduce you to mush...mush more mushy than wallpaper paste
And on many Tuesdays several of the on line choir can be seen getting rather emotional at the lyrics 

Yesterday
I would have weeped buckets.
So I stayed away....

Hey ho
