Notes About The Poem

3/15/2025 for Write Six Beautiful Lines Poetry Contest sponsored by Constance La France

Acorn and Oak

"An acorn grows to a mighty oak" -  
words, once, my grandpa spoke 
when I was small. 

What dear Grandpa forgot to say, 
long ago, on that happy day, 
is, "Every oak must fall".

The squirrels grab some of the acorns. We must not get too cocky, for we all fall, whether by age or too much pride or sickness, etc..
