Nursery Rhymes: A Story of Love
Recalling my childhood, I was often lulled to sleep by my grandmother’s sweet lullabies and folk songs. Every night, she gently sang, her hand softly patting me to sleep.
“Grandma, why do you sing so well? Sing me more!” – I would often plead with her.
Grandma smiled kindly and then hummed sweet melodies again:
“Sleep, my baby, sleep, Sleep soundly, my dear, Mommy goes to work, Mommy will come back, Mommy will buy you a gift…”
Grandma’s song was like a warm lullaby, like a mother’s heart-to-heart talk with her child. These songs nurtured my innocent soul, helping me grow up in the loving arms of my family.
