Here is a space
Tucked in the trees
Where water flows freely and pure
Children dance to the sounds of the wind
Truth follows us
The teachings of those who came before
Are passed down
Over and over
Colours change as years pass
Love flourishes and thrives
Sunlight dances on the water
Twisting and twirling
The sky paints
This space is shared
We use it to honour how
Cultures blend together
People come from far and wide
We gather and partake
A constant reminder
To give respect to the land
