Setting up a Paediatric Palliative Care Unit: Step 5


I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus' garden
In the shade
- (Ringo Starr Abbey Road)

George Harrison said, "'Octopus's Garden' was Ringo Starr's song. It was only the second song Ringo has ever written, mind you, and it's lovely." He added that the song gets very deep into your consciousness "...because it's so peaceful."

The song is sometimes thought of as being a song for children (and is appropriate for this ward) as it contains the lyrics 

"Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe,"

  1. It would be lovely to have these very words printed on the walls somewhere. The place looks great!
