Carol Agee Poet Didactic

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
