Oak Tree-CM



Oak tree stands tall
Roots grip the stones
Sky it has known

Sun shines above
Shade brings relief
To men in grief

On firm branches
Birds build their nest
At dusk to rest

Storms it has faced
Winds rush and roar
It withstands more

Emblem of strength
It endures gales
Amidst the vales

Silent it waits
Seasons will turn
Lessons we learn
