sad funeral day
i grab the bell’s rope… i pull
hold on tight… i rise 🦊❤️
Most churches have replaced hand rung bells with recordings that are broadcast from large speakers in or around the bell towers. As a kid I was an altar boy. One of my responsibilities was to ring the church bells when I served at funerals. I was very, very underweight as a kid so when I finally got the bells moving sufficiently to ring, I would hold tight to the thick rope and I would ride up and down as the bells tolled. I guess it wasn’t a respectful thing to do at a funeral…. But I was just a kid! 🦊❤️
