Greenfingers Poem by Katria
I like the gardening, When the weather is fine, When the grass is green, When the tree is greenish, When the crops are ready to eat.
At Sheffield Cathedral, 8th of February 2019, saw 600 people join our celebration of the power of community and singing and the benefits it brings in terms of mental health, physical wellbeing and social support. Everyone sand their hearts out throughout the emotional and uplifting performance.
The concert marked the end of a year of workshops for the SAGE Singing Through the Seasons Group, in the grand setting of Sheffield Cathedral, supported by three local Choirs:
The women from the Singing Through the Seasons Group were asked what singing in the group means to them. Their words below were then put together by Kate Thomas and set to music:
We’ve found a place just to be, where we can slow our pace
Everyone I meet here becomes a part of me
Before we say a word, we are silently connected
by this warmth and the magic of song
Bright rainbow colours light my spirit, fire my soul,
It’s my sunshine on a rainy day, my sunshine
I was thirsty, now I’m drinking from this river of song
It’s given me a voice I thought I’d never find again
Soaring, interweaving, together we make an exceptional song
And now I’m standing tall, standing strong
#rootedandstrong
I like the gardening, When the weather is fine, When the grass is green, When the tree is greenish, When the crops are ready to eat.
I like when the weather is mild, I like when people are chatting and chatting again and again, I like when people are moving and moving on.
