I'M a Mighty Oak Tree

I am a mighty oak tree. Yes, that is me! I am tired of being blown around as though I am a weeping willow. I am strong and independent and it’s gonna take more than a blustery wind To try and bend my branches. Unaffected by the gale force winds of the enemy. Unaffected by the robins that come to make their homes upon my branches. I am an oak and I decide my own destiny, not the elements around me. Oaks don’t go with the wind current. They set their own precedent. They dictate what type of existence they are gonna have. They take charge and lead others to take root And stand against difficult circumstances. Come and take a seed and plant your own oak tree. Perhaps you can come and plant yourself right beside me. I’m a mighty oak tree for all eternity! Gwendolen Rix 12-4-15
