222. Oh Mighty Oak

Oh mighty oak
You give me strength
Knowing all things
Start out small
For when I struggle
Or am thinking
Of giving up
I remember
Your existence
Knowing how you
Struggled
To just be
A tree
Though you cannot
See
Your being begets
Life
From shade to acorns
A home for insects
And for birds
You would be
Missed
If you were
Gone
And so I
Continue
Like you
