Kind Harvest Moon Hum A
Hum for the sun, hum for the rain—thank what grew, then share again. Families hear the real-world rhythm, sing the feeling together, then repeat one helpful action: notice, carry carefully, or share a portion.
Lyrics
[Two soft taps, then a family hum.]
Pitter on the creek, patter on the ground,
Silver morning makes a harvest sound.
Warm hands pause where the cool winds run;
We thank the rain, and we thank the sun.
Near Carlisle creek, Haylee looked low:
“See how the pumpkin vines used to grow.”
Emmitt found one small pear, firm and green,
Resting in the harvest basket between.
They named what helped from seed to grain—
Patient soil, warm sun, and rain.
Hum for the sun, hum for the rain;
Thank what grew, then share again.
Notice, carry, pass it through—
One kind harvest thing to do.
Hum for the sun, hum for the rain;
Thank what grew, then share again.
They peeked toward barn lane, puddles bright;
Nothing needed picking in the silver light.
Haylee held the basket level and slow;
Emmitt said, “Let’s choose where this pear can go.”
Not every gift is ours to keep—
Gratitude grows when sharing runs deep.
Leader: Hum for the harvest—what can we do?
All: Carry it carefully, share it through.
All: Hum for the sun, hum for the rain;
Thank what grew, then share again.
Notice, carry, pass it through—
One kind harvest thing to do.
[Soft chimes answer the hum.]
At old stump school, the raindrops rang;
Across pond stones, a moon-hum sang.
At riverside bend, the silver light
Made daytime puddles dream of night.
The harvest moon is make-believe play—
A thankful glow in a rainy day.
At the quiet bench, they chose at last:
Half for later, half to pass.
Haylee steadied; Emmitt made room;
The basket held one pear in the silver gloom.
Before they shared beyond this song,
They hummed one thanks and helped along.
Hum for the sun, hum for the rain;
Thank what grew, then share again.
Notice, carry, pass it through—
One kind harvest thing to do.
Hum for the hands that helped it grow;
Hum for the good we choose to show.
Mmm-mm-mm—soft and true;
Thank what grew, then share it through.
