Tower Pond Interpretive Trail

I am the heat of your hearth on the cold-winter nights,
the friendly shade screening you from the summer
sun, and my fruits are refreshing draughts quenching
your thirst as you journey on.

I am the beam that holds your house, the board of
your table, the bed on which you lie, and the
timber that builds your boat.

I am the handle on your hoe, the door of your
homestead, the wood of your cradle, and the shell
of your coffin.

I am the bread of kindness and the flower of
beauty. Ye who pass by, listen to my prayer,
harm me not.
