This is one of my favourite poems. Sent to me when I thought I couldnt endure another thing. This is for all the beautiful oaks Ive had the honour of meeting this past year... The Oak Tree by Johnny Ray Ryder Jr A mighty wind blew night and day It stole the oak trees leaves away Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark Until the oak was tired and stark But still the oak tree held its ground While other trees fell all around The weary 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 every leaf away Shake my limbs, and make me sway But I have roots stretched in the earth Growing stronger since my birth Youll never touch them, for you see They are the deepest part of me Until today, I wasnt sure Of just how much I could endure But now Ive found, with thanks to you Im stronger than I ever knew
