Trying To Sing, Rap Or Do Poems When No One Asked You To…
“We miss Robert.” Or what about the woman who sang “Seven Days” for her boyfriend? That’s what always comes to mind when I think about the idea of people jumping up to the microphone at funeral ceremonies and saying they want to sing a song for the deceased, recite a poem, or show off their new rhyme. SIT DOWN. You see the coffin, right? This is not Showtime At The Apollo or American Idol, and when you’re in a moment of grief, the last thing you want is for folks to get up on the podium and start howling in the mic because they just really want you to hear their rendition of “His Eye Is On The Sparrow.” Your enthusiasm would be more appreciated on a different day…
