Strong and mighty <br />Bowing in the wind <br />Rooted deep and true <br />To its origins <br /> <br />Stands above them all <br />Sees further than the rest <br />Protection from storms <br />Safest place to nest <br /> <br />Food for the hungry <br />Heat for the cold <br />Heart so big <br />No two arms could hold <br /> <br />Carries mankind in <br />Great vessels of dreams <br />In their ends a guardian <br />Of the bodies they leave <br /> <br />Shade on my walk <br />Comfort leaned against <br />Calls me to climb higher <br />Drunk in its fragrance<br /><br />Lauren B Called<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-oak/
