The Mighty Oak
I stand alone, a wise old tree
Natures' Watcher, forever, watching Me
My roots are deep, my wisdom much
Surviving the sun, the storms & such
As earthly season comes and goes
Roots grow deeper… foliage grows
Leaves & blooms, sunshine kissed
Heavens’ rains, my bounty exists
Natures' Watcher providing every need
Sunshine, rainfall, night for seed
Create, extend and give forth life
Thru myriad of trials and withering strife
Roars of thunder, bolts of light
Rainfall, sunshine bring forth life
To grow, to blossom, if we listen
Carry wind, my only mission
Winds of time, forever survive
Willowing branches my wings,
Leaves, born to fall, become the earth
Never at rest…this wise old tree…forever evolving
