(Text on back of crate)
I am a child I am a child
Inside of me I am a child
A wild and funny sunny child
With wings for arms and song for voice
And worlds to travel at my choice
There’s nothing in my life unreal
No thing or thought I will not feel
No pain or sorrow I can’t heal
Above my head the sun bursts gold
And grasses green beneath unfold
To hold the child I am I am
Of light and love and all things fair
And unafraid to be aware
That light and dark are both out there.
