It was a busy day for both mom and daughter. A nice warm spring
day and they could spend part of it working in the yard doing the spring cleanup¸
planting some fresh flowers, and just enjoying the day together.
Now it was bed time, bath done, tucked
into bed. Mom had told a story, they had bedtime prayers, and it was time to go
to sleep. Her eyes started to fall asleep, and Mom sat next to the bed, reached
out to hold a little and started singing the world’s most famous lullaby. “Lullaby and goodnight, with roses
bedight. . .”
It was quiet, a little breeze ruffled
the curtains, and the quiet and swept over them as the night settled in.
She was not aware of, nor did she
really care, that this lullaby, a favorite already from childhood, was written
by Johannes Brahms, a life long bachelor who had no children.
Weird, but true.
