Where tear drops bring rain
Where death brings pain
You’ll find me under the maple tree

Where birth brings life
Where war brings strife
You’ll find me under the maple tree

Where friendships are made
Where families are saved
You’ll find me under the maple tree

Where peace reigns free
Where Joy is let be
You’ll find me under the maple tree

Very nice.  Everyone should have a place like you describe.
