The Oak Tree

A mighty wind blew day and night.
It stole the Oak tree's leaves away
Then snapped its boughs and pulled it's 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 be 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 AM STRONGER THAN I EVER KNEW...........

How interesting you would write about a tree! A fellow CSN member ( sadly, we lost her to the Lung Ca Beast) who was a published author, asked me to collaborate with her on a poem. She had an online mentoring site, and was such a lovely, sweet soul. I was honored and humbled to contribute even a small part to her efforts to reach out to those of us doing battle with the beast. Her website is www.thecancertree.com. And from there, if you click on A Poem Grows, you will see the poem she and I lovingly did together. I miss her dearly~ we met in the Chatroom here at CSN and she was indeed a Kindred Spirit of the highest calibre...

Hugs,
Chen♥
