I am a child of the Maple Wood
of long Summers and deep Winters.
I am guarded by the Sentry Oaks
who look down from their high Savannas.
I am nestled amongst the bubbling Springs
and bathe in thousands of jeweled Lakes.
I dance on the Limestone cliffs
and draw deep from their earthy power.
I know the depths of the Wetlands
their rich songs sing me to sleep.
I breath the clear air, same as
the Hawk, the Eagle, the Crane, the Loon.
I am a child of the Maple Wood
forever here I shall Steward.
