Under the Old Oak Tree

Under the Old Oak Tree

Under the old oak tree

roots that grow deep

strengthen the land

holding its hand.

Under the old oak tree

a worn bench sits

waiting its turn

to nurture friendship.

Under the old oak tree

green grasses wave

sweet flowers save

a bed to watch cloud shapes.

Under the old oak tree

is love so sweet

hearts etched in wood

memories of childhood.

Under the old oak tree

secrets are never revealed

time stands still

in the hollow of the old oak tree.

He shall be like a tree

Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

Psalm 1:3

Success!
