Good day, Hive Open Mic Community 🎤 It's my privilege again here to bring a cover song I did for this week's theme which is "Music for Children". For today, I did a little nursery rhyme and song for kids titled "Wheels on the Bus" by Cocomelon from YouTube. The song was inspired by a little girl in my department from Church. She would be clocking a year old next month and she is the idea of the song I did today.
Her name is Sharon. Little Sharon is a beautiful and all-smiling girl who would allow everyone to carry her without crying except she isn't comfortable around the person which is unusual for her. Sharon is loved by many in the church as she smiles and waves at people when they come to say hello. The first time she was brought to the children's department as her mother was on duty as the head of the usher, she felt uneasy for the first few minutes in my hand. Then, I thought of making her happy and enjoying my presence, especially knowing she would be with me all through the service and for her not to distract or disturb the other kids from listening, I searched for a song on YouTube to keep her busy.
I went for "Wheels on the Bus" as it's a danceable and lively song for a kid like her. Immediately I pressed the play button and she heard the sound and rhythm, she started jumping up in excitement, moving her body while on my lap and giggling, smiling, and blabbing some words from her mouth, which she and God understands because no one could get her words but she felt joyous and excited listening to the song. Other children too joined in the fun and I realized they love the particular song.
Sharon would tap me and point to the picture in the phone while I replied with my head in agreement to whatever she was saying, just for her to know I am also tagging along. I found out she loves music too because her mom always plays it for her at home. Kids enjoy such moments and I was glad to make her smile. Any time she comes around, she would try reaching out for my phone which I would understand she needed me to play her a song. Such a wonderful kid. I wish her a happy one-year birthday in advance.
I was inspired to sing the song and I enjoyed my little time doing it. Here is the instrumental song from YouTube.
