upon a definition of the word liberty;
and precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human creatures

leaving it dry and lifeless.

for all God's creatures - large and small,
for the bright blue sky and the soft fog and the gentle rain,
for the tree veiled in the season's first frost,
for the baby's laugh,
for the touch of a hand and the whispered "I love you."
