Look To the Oak

Indeed you look like an acorn, not very strong But I promise you to the mighty oak you belong When you believed, you were grafted into my tree Now in me you live, move and have your being You will have to give up your acorn existence So you can take on My image, with my assistance You will have to give up your acorn mentality And see that you are already an oak in reality Don’t look within yourself or out to your peers Sometimes things there, aren’t how they appear My command to the weak is to say “I am strong” Your strength comes from the oak in your acorn I will love you always, as much as I do right now I see in you an oak, from your trunk to your bough Quit struggling to be what you are already being Say you are what I am, even when you can’t see it
