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. May 15, 2022

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

True and true, it doesn't reign or win but prevails:)
