I wish I could play this song for you, dear reader. It's haunting and lovely, and it captures exactly how I'm feeling about my sweet little Urchin, who's had a fever of at least 102° all day.
It's not strep, flu, pneumonia or meningitis. But it's something — and she's fighting something fierce.
She's a tough one, my little Urchin. Armed with popsicles, her blanket, her teddy bear and Elmo, she's taking it on. Here's hoping that dawn brings her closer to victory.
In the meantime, thank you k.d. lang, for the soundtrack to my day.
Golden Slumbers/The End
From the “Happy Feet” soundtrack
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye
Once there was a way, to get back homeward
Once there was a way, to get back home
Sleep pretty darling, don't you cry
I'll sing a lullabye
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love
You make
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
I will sing a lullabye

One of the greater unappreciated Beatles songs originally. I didn't know k.d. covered it. I hope your darling feels better soon.
She did cover it, and it's magical. The Beatles version is, of course, beautiful. But there's something in k.d.'s version that just haunts me. I hope you'll have a listen, randyA. And thanks for reading, my friend.
