°As I ponder my humble surroundings, 
±     taking stock of my assets and needs 
² I'm pleased with all of my holdings, 
ßÛß     the fruit of my well-planted seeds °
For here within my environ, 
     I need not the help of a soul ±
For I've cultured my every requirement ܲÜ
  :::::::::     right here in my sparkling fishbowl ß
 





  In a lush and fertile meadow, it spreads its roots and grows  
Withstanding every hardship, this splendid, budding rose   
Standing tall and proud amid the rest, it has but one sure course 
As it lends to us its beauty with an undeniable force

Cast not aside phenomenon or ideas you can't embrace 
For our universe is infinite, who knows what shares our space ? 
Some mysteries have stood the test, and through time remain concealed
Some riddles keep their secrets and will never be revealed
But just because you cannot see, or your mind just can't conceive  
Can you truly state, emphatically, that you really don't believe ?

Remembering days filled with laughter 'neath the sultry southern skies 
    No worries to distract me, no conflicts to compromise 
        Bejeweled by chinaberries, with a hand full of dandelion rings 
   Listening to the bumblebee's rhythm while the jaybirds and sparrows sing  
        Seeking out the perfect mollypops to fashion a basket of sorts 
  Or filling the walkway with chalk lines to engage in my favorite of sports 
        Casting a line of wild onion and reeling in a monstrous catch 
 Plucking juicy wild cherries and scuppernongs, or plums in a blackberry patch 
         Sipping honeysuckle nectar, the scent of wisteria in the wind 
        I cherish the days of my childhood for they'll never come again
