and water, living with the stars in the sky and the 

 stars in the pond ; beginning serious life when 

 brilliant clouds of color enrich autumn's hills; 

 helping to harvest the trees that wear the robes 

 of gold, while the birds go by for the southland 

 in the reflective autumn days. If Mother Nature 

 should ever call me to live upon another planet, 

 I could wish that I might be born a beaver, to 

 inhabit a house in the water.
