My Theme Song

They say that a song is a reflection of our experiences in our journey. It is a  melody of our daily existence. But if the lyrics of a song describes the kind of world we are living, then, which song narrates our own struggles and victory in life.

I heard this song once when I was surfing on youtube. Since then, I keep playing this song almost every time I log in to the site. It is a song about mother’s undying love – it is a song of love.
In the bible, the coat of many colors is the name of the multi-colored garment that Joseph owned but in this song, it is a patchwork coat of many materials which have been of different colors. The song, Coat of Many Colors originally sung by Dolly Parton, tells a story of how Parton’s mother stitched together a coat for her daughter out of rags given to the family. As she sewed, she told her child the biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors.

Well, I'm not really into country music but this song perfectly reflects how humble our life was. In my family, getting what we wanted was less easy. But despite all these, my parents were so generous beyond their means. And just like the Coat of Many Colors, the greatest gift they gave us was the gift of love.
