Explanation:

In this poem, Wisely states that a child was given by water, but water also took him away. We also learn that water gives life on earth, but also symbolizes death in the sky. Therefore, water is identified as something that gives and takes life.

The Earth is called the Goldilocks planet based on the fairytale. We learn that the Earth is neither too hot, nor too cold, just like the bowls of food in the fairytale. This allows life on Earth to thrive.
