  • Being Born is Important by Carl Sandburg
    01 May, 2009

    Being born is important
    You who have stood at the bedposts
    and seen a mother on her high harvest day,
    the day of the most golden of harvest moons for her.

    You who have seen the new wet child
    dried behind the ears,
    swaddled in soft fresh garments,
    pursing its lips and sending a groping mouth
    toward nipples where white milk is ready.

    You who have seen this love's payday
    of wild toiling and sweet agonizing.

    You know being born is important.
    You know that nothing else was ever so important to you.
