     Remember Joyce Kilmer from high school:                                                        
                                                                                                    
                                   Trees                                                           
                                                                                                    
                      I think that I shall never see                                               
                         A poem lovely as a tree.                                                  
                    A tree whose hungry mouth is prest                                             
                 Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;                                         
                     A tree that looks at God all day,                                             
                     And lifts her leafy arms to pray;                                             
                      A tree that may in summer wear                                               
                       A nest of robins in her hair;                                               
                      Upon whose bosom snow has lain;                                              
                      Who intimately lives with rain.                                              
                     Poems are made by fools like me,                                              
                       But only God can make a tree.                                               
                                                                                                    
     Brothers and Sisters, keep your eye on the glass.  It is not half                             
      full, and it is not half empty.  The truth is it just needs re-                              
     engineering.  Thank you.                                                                       
                                                                                                    
                                                                                                    
The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Neuman.                                          
                                                                                                    
                                                                                                    
                       CERTIFICATION OF THE JOURNAL
