From An Acorn

From an Acorn
                                                              
                                                              by Barbara J. Henry

From a modest acorn

Comes the huge oak tree.

Is there any explaining this mystery?

How can something so majestic, so grand

Emerge from a small nut lying dormant in the land.

        How do I grasp the miracle

        Of such perplexity?

        Is there any explaining

        The acorn's progeny?







Some things defy explanations; the acorn's relationship to the oak tree is just one of the
miracles of nature that has always fascinated me.
