The Burr Oak

A Mighty Oak standing strong in the midday sun
One branch upon it leafless utterly barren
It has seen more lives than just this one
But lived them all under the same daylight sun
Living strong, its choice was none
It only happened, stance, that this acorn won

So easy to find love within this life, even as I realized a tree likely 100 years plus older than myself has seen so much of it. Happiness found from where it all begins! Warmly, A.S.
