The Oak
The mighty oak stands firm and tall,
it plucks a chord within my soul,
positioned there where all can see
it speaks of England's history.
It evokes for me kings and queens,
wild boar, horses and hunting scenes.
the elite of another day,
would ride and laugh passing this way.
Today the tree stands all alone,
beneath it children play and roam,
happy and carefree at its base -
a gentler kind of human race.
The tree - witness to many changes
all beneath its shade embraces,
it speaks of strength, of power and might
instills a wish to do what's right.
It speaks of duty for everyone
to act as a strict guardian
to care for all beneath the sun
for generations yet to come.
