Remember

Remember

Most nursery rhymes are about death— we had to remind the newly arrived not to get very comfortable here.

Born in the days of plagues and roses all babes had to hear that last-sleep was near.

But then we grew older, made sleep a foul fiend, and shrugged off the wolves at the door.

It might be good to sing the old, old songs again. It might be good for us to remember.
