Margarita Lillico Poet Rhyme

Oath By the Oak

Oaks would impart 
Wise guidance to 
Longevity. 

To coexist 
In mutual 
Integrity. 

Spare the water 
Filter the air 
Bow to the sun.  

Life’s sustenance 
Is nature’s own 
Not of a man. 

Yet in our hands
Longevity
Of Universe.

If wisdom reigns
And common sense -
Ours, Mine and Yours.

Connie Marcum Wong June 2, 2022 at 2:18 AM Common sense being the key word Margarita. My husband planted 24 trees of Italian spruce around our home when we moved in 33 years ago. They are the guardians of our home against hurricanes as their roots run straight down and deep. They offer us far more than we give them. Congratulations on your wonderful winning poem. Blessings xxoo Margarita Lillico June 3, 2022 at 1:39 PM Ah, lovely, bet it provides safety, beauty and tranquility! And thank you.
