The Oak
The oak is a most pleasant tree
She gently towers over thee
Shading everything on the ground
Inspired by small brownish round tiny acorn wee
Red squirrels claim her for their home
She provides shelter for a gnome
Blue jay senses her strength is near
Tall white tailed deer use her roughened bark as a comb
She can live for thousands of years
Letting the snow slide off in tears,
Nature's seal of mighty tree bond
Using pond as one of her fabulous mirrors.
