The Old Oak Tree
My father was like an old Oak tree, with grain
strong enough to bend the strongest nail . and
I was a sprout that grew beside his trunk. His
branches sheltered me fro the World's evil flame
and when I matured and was transplanted to
grow on my own and free, I became a plank
from the old Oak tree.
