During the first days caring for my new grandson, I found myself having to endlessly 'walk the floor with him' to get him to sleep. I was reminded that caring for a new baby is hard work. It is overwhelming and all-consuming, miraculous- and sometimes lonely. But my heart was filled with the realization that unlike my siblings and me (we had no cousins, aunts or uncles), he would be surrounded by abundant extended family who already loved the baby they had just met. So I sang this song' over and over and over until he slept and I was calmed.
