Weathered Mighty Oak ... too soon gone
Deep rooted and held
Your branches like arms reach out
From the heart and depths of earth
Weathered mighty oak
Of many known moons
Healed from the wounds
Of harsh seasons past
Strong, deliberate
Confident in your determined pose
Enfolding the winds and light
The ravages of storms
Beyond your endurance has come
Saddened I be with your presence no more
Within my heart be our shared memories ever more.
