The steady Oak’s roots dig deep to the source of their strength
Its boughs provide shade to all who come near
The trunk holds up children and animals
To take a look at the horizon
The leaves of the tree are ever green, and do not fall,
In hard seasons
The thick roots destroy weak foundations
And trip any intruder
Even as a sapling it stood
Set apart from the rest
Growing closer to the sky
And towards the light
With its rough bark it hides
The broad rings within
From the farthest distance
It can be seen
The Mighty Oak
Sprawling in glory
My shade
My favorite Oak Tree |
And my home
Dedicated to my husband
Beautiful
Thank you, Jenn!
