She was crying
Without words to communicate
What was the problem
The tears flowed
And she cried out
At my ropes end
I had to find a way
To pacify my baby
She wouldn’t eat
She was dry
And she would not sleep
Finally I turned on the water
I needed a drink
Dry from trying to coo her quiet
And her sobs stopped
She began to relax
I turned off the water
She began to fuss
For the sake of peace
I raised the water bill

That was a good discovery.
I never figured out why it worked but I used it more than once when she was a newborn.
The sound of running water is soothing. Now they hav e apps for it.
They have apps for everything now.
Yup!
Interesting. Whatever it takes!
That’s what I thought too.
