The Oak Tree
by Johnny Ray Ryder Jr.

  • A mighty wind blew night and day.
  • It stole the Oak Tree's 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.
  • 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.
