Randall: ‘The Baby Song’ one women know the world over
Note to readers:
I’m taking off this week to celebrate the birth of my newest granddaughter, who was born May 15, and is beautiful and perfect in every way. This column is from 2004, but is still just as true.
There’s a song we sing, the women in my family, when we celebrate the birth of a child.
“The Baby Song,” I call it. It is sung, I suspect, by women in most families, when their time comes to be mothers and grandmothers and aunts.
Men have their own ways of welcoming babies, but women like to sing. The words change, the tune varies, but it’s still the same song – a hymn of praise, an ode to joy, a prayer for strength and safekeeping, an old shape-note harmony of happy, grateful hearts.
