The story behind this song
A single lock of hair is set carefully aside at his first haircut ceremony, kept as the smallest possible keepsake.
Why this moment matters
Keeping a single lock of hair from a first haircut is such a small gesture, and it's one of the few physical keepsakes of a baby that lasts.
