I am Maple.  I am wrapped in leaves of glory.

         I am Maple.  Through the summer I am shade.  My heavy leaves offer comfort.  My greenness beckons you to tarry.

         I am Maple.  But in the fall I come to life.  In my hibernation, beauty.

         I am Maple.  All the seasons of Life are wonderous.  Do not fear the autumn of your year.  For within its restful coolness, lies the chance to show your color.

         I am Maple.  Fill your autumn with your glory.  Use this time to know your Spirit.  Show the world your Love and Life.  Fill the Earth with your Beauty.
