A Song

I was hoping to teach my kids a new song they had not sung before. I sang to my daughter, "Kumbaya, my lord, kumbaya." But she said she had sung the song before in school or in church. I then sung it to my young son and he laughed and mangled some of the words when he tried to sing the song.

I recall learning "Kumbaya" as a child in grade school with other kids during assembly time. This was during the 1970's when folk songs were popular. I fondly recall that period's wonderful folk songs, lyrical and full of meaning.
