The Old Oak

How oft the times have been
The old oak has withered thin
Watching ore our lives with shade
Blocking heat from sun's bright rays

As the leaves turn chromatic
Our lives are filled with certain magic
Our home we've made beside the oak
The bond of love wears no cloak

With the passing of each season
The steadfast oak performs with reason
Extending mercy from the sun
Providing homes for little ones

The oak is always there for me
A place to prop, my mind run free
The roots run deep within the ground
The secret of it's strength is found

The golden hues of fallen leaves
Yesterday's kisses and the lives we lead
The coming cold of barren branches
A strength in years and our many chances

With the passing of each season
Our love reflects the old oak tree
The laughter from the birds that sing
And new growth each coming spring

"A place to prop, my mind run free"

Marcy~
In my mind
you made me climb
the branches of
that oak of mine

What delight to swing among
the memories you were making -
now as fall approaches
it's those chromatic leaves
I'LL BE RAKING !

A true beauty, hon.
