I had long wondered whether the poem used in "Beaver's Tree" is a real poem. It is, and it was written by Henry Cuyler Bunner (1855-1896). Here is the complete text.

Beaver recited a line

"God's blessing on the neighborhood."

I'm now trying to find that. I wonder if someone added a verse.

Edit: Oh, they modified the line, His blessings...

I plant SO MANY trees & bushes on my land

This episode touched me

Bless this good earth and it's creatures, Amen

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than being in your garage makes you a car. Jesus is in all of us no matter where we are. Be a good person.

Make your church on the rock you stand on.
