about

Notes: Here's another little ditty I came up with for Forest. The books and apps that help us to understand our son's development say that he is beginning to differentiate between himself and the world around him. The notion of the world as distinct and separate from himself is dawning on him as we speak. When I think about that, my mind sort of turns to goo. That must be very exciting and frightening to say the least. Since he is now a part of a larger world, rather than the sum of the entire world itself as he may previously have assumed, it feels like a good time to point out some of the interesting things he can expect to experience as he ventures forth. To help him on his way, I will sing him this song.

lyrics

The sun, the grass, and the trees
The sun, the grass, and the trees
See the wild flower
See the way it grows
See the river bend
See way it flows
From your fingers
All the way to your toes
The world you're living in

The moon, the stars in the sky
The moon, the stars in the sky
Hear the whisper
Of the wind through the trees
Smell the spring rain
Carried on the breeze
From your elbows
All the way to your knees
The world you're living in
