Hive Open Mic 🎤 week 172 ~ Hand to hold || A cover song by Princessbusayo.

Happy weekend to the community and all Hivians. I love this week's theme— Family. At first, I found a song to record but while I was minding my business on YouTube, I came across this beautiful song and I said, "This is going to be rehearsed by me". The song is so emotional that I felt like crying. I could feel a mother's love and care for her children. I could feel her emotion while talking to her children, guiding them on the right path in life and making them understand that no matter where life takes them and how life treats them, she is always available to hold their hands so they don't feel lonely in the world.

I decided to do the cover song by downloading the instrumental beat on YouTube and working out some editing to the video. Let's talk a little bit more about the song as it relates well to the theme of family. The song is titled "Hand to Hold" by JJ Heller. A woman who has passion and love for the growth of children and this song was particularly made for them as she believed that every one of us still has this child-like image in us. We want to feel loved. We want to be nurtured and cared for. We want the best to be for us and so, here comes where family fills in the gap. Family is one agent of socialisation where you'd find love, attention, care, sacrifice and so on even more than what an outsider or stranger would do for you.

This song speaks about prayer and assurance from a kind-hearted mother to her children. It's a song that makes you feel the warmth of a mother speaking to her kids and making them know she would be there for them at any time. She went ahead making them understand that failure is inevitable and they should not be afraid to lose because the more they keep trying, the more they learn and become better persons. What is more fulfilling than seeing parents wishing their children the best as they grow and find their path?

Family will always guide you and teach you about life. They believe they have walked through life's challenges and have learnt so many lessons which they are willing and ready to give to their kids who are also getting prepared for what life has for them. Having to have a family to guide you, and to lean on is the strongest thing one could have. God has sent us to amazing families that are ready to sacrifice their love for us which no one else can do. This is why we need to cherish our source, where we are birth from, remembering their love and how they'd do everything to keep us happy. Having a wonderful family is the best thing we can ever have from God.

I hope you enjoy the song as I have included the lyrics so we can all flow along with it.

Thanks for your time on my blog.
