Slumber My Darling by
Stephen Foster
The love we
feel for our children goes deeper than any words, any
description; I believe, Stephen Foster's lullaby
"Slumber My Darling" is the closest one could
get to illustrating that kind of unconditional love.
I don't know
why it is but some human beings can personally feel the
essence of human sorrow and soul wrenching love that
comprises, what is known as, “The Human
Condition” better than anyone else.
I believe
people like Foster go through unbelievable sorrow
themselves, carrying the burden of empathy for
other’s heartbreak.
A talent
such as Stephen Foster's, which produces art that has no
time limitations, and helps us, generation after
generation, endure the pain, that comes from simply being
alive in this existence we call life. This is why Stephen
Foster will forever go on living through his
compassionate art and his command of the written word.

The human condition encompasses the
unique features of being human.
It can be described as the unalterable part of humanity
that is inherent and innate to human beings and not
dependent on factors such as gender, race or class. It
includes concerns such as the meaning of life, the search
for gratification, the sense of curiosity, the
inevitability of isolation, or awareness regarding the
inescapability of death.

a child is like losing your soul. You may put on a front
