How do the children grow?
Like the birds, grass, flowers,
Taller, larger, sweeter still,
Through the days and hours
Learning something new each day,
That will help them on their way.

A little yellow bird above,
A little yellow flower below;
The little bird can sing the love
That bird and blossom know;
The blossom has no song nor wing,
But breathes the love he cannot sing.

I think that flowers can see, don't you?
And soft white clouds are playing;
The wind can talk to grasses, too,
For I've listened and watched, they do;
I can almost hear what they're saying.
