Hebbie Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 "The Oak Tree" A mighty wind blew night and day. It stole the oak tree's leaves away. Then snapped it's boughs and pulled it's bark Until the oak was tired and stark. But still the oak tree held it's ground While other trees fell all around. The wearly wind gave up and spoke, "How can you still be standing, Oak?" The oak tree said, "I know that you Can break each branch of mine in two, Carry ever leaf away, Shake my limbs, and make me sway. But I have roots stretched in the earth, Growing stronger since my birth. You'll never touch them, for you see, They are the deepest part of me. Until today, I wasn't sure Of just how much I could endure. But now I've found, with thanks to you, I'm stronger than I ever knew." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
