Our Sturdy Oak You were the oak in our family tree With roots that were strong and true, Holding your trunk firmly and steadily; No ill wind could topple you. We nestled under your shielding branches In the shelter of your girth Until our own roots were established and We could survive by our own worth. Only then did you give into life's pressures. Only then did your roots release. God seeing how extremely tired you were Took you to his home of peace. By: Joyce 6/27/03 |
