about

and here is a song—a song for our children
all holding hands stretched out in a line

children: mine. yours. ours:
so beautiful.

orana steiner school: canberra, australia
mulberry waldorf school: kingston, canada.

the beauty of children: staggering.
generosity. love and more
love. and the invisible sign above the door:
here we have time.

lyrics

we must learn to give to others
the things that we ourselves most need
a smile, a laugh, a kind word to offer
love grows from the tiniest seed

here is a song—a song for our children
all holding hands stretched out in a line
and here’s to the love and life we are building
a love that is yours—a love that is mine

all of our children—so beautifully fine
they arrive and we greet them: here we have time

and the music is yours
and the music is mine
and the music is love
here we have time

a soft light falls coming in through the windows
colours splash and dance on the floor
love is the song the children all sing to
music in waves touching the shore

here is a place that’s quiet and giving
with patience and kindness and love to spare
open the doors and open the windows
into the light—i’ll meet you there

all of our children—so beautifully fine
they arrive and we greet them: here we have time

and the story is yours
and the story is mine
and the story is love
here we have time …
