In a safe environment, a child can see the world with wonder. He or she encounters the smiles and waves of a parent, loose garden soil between the toes, butterflies on flower blossoms, and being tucked into bed with a story or a lullaby. I wrote the song “Look Out the Window” after one of my children called to me from an upstairs window while I worked in the garden. She was happy to see me–“Hi Daddy!”–and raced down the stairs to join me in the garden. Every child deserves to be safe and to be loved, and to see the world with wonder. Here is the link to the sheet music to Look Out the Window.
Sweet song! We raised our family in a safe environment, in a little rural town called Sunnyvale on 4 acres of land. As I read your stories, they remind me why we moved out there – plenty of space for kids projects and gardens! I feel so happy for your children, that they are allowed to be children and to be happy!
