Memoirs of
an Old Oak



Now, but a stump, the old oak stood
above the scrub brush, weeds, and wood
that flames devoured and turned to coal
but not so for the oak, its soul
had dug down deep, exposed its roots
and found a source of life, a fruit
beyond the surface and façade
of earthly things, the things of God
held precious in the old oak’s heart
began to nurture and impart
to all the saplings gathered round
the Hope and Love the old oak found.


God bless,
Lighthouse Bob

The tree of life gives relentlessly.  A loving picture you've drawn in these lines.

Thanks for sharing.

  God bless
