Mighty oak grow ever tall <br />Look down on the world so small <br />Watching over birds that call <br />Offer forth the bugs that crawl <br /> <br />Mighty oak grow ever strong <br />Give birds home where they belong <br />So we can listen to their song <br />Where young are taught the right from wrong <br /> <br />Mighty oak grow ever willing <br />Guard the fox now due for killing <br />Hounds around your trunk are milling <br />While farmers on their land are tilling <br /> <br />Mighty oak grow ever kind <br />Protecting all the things you find <br />Build up thoughts within your mind <br />With all that’s special underlined <br /> <br />Mighty oak grow ever wise <br />No other tree can match your size <br />You offer all without the ties <br />And never tell me any lies <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles
