Heart Of Oak

 

Do not scorn my furrowed skin

Nor criticize each drooping limb

 I have stood for a thousand years

  Firmly rooted to this very spot

Small wonder then I’m thin on top

 

I remember well my early youth

A young brash sapling so uncouth

Craving attention with dreams of fame

 People  pausing in adoration

Giving them cause for inspiration

 

Time passes slowly for the young

Till suddenly Spring has sprung

Down the years I have had good luck

Marked with a cross I have been retained

While all around me the Chainsaw reigned

 

Celebrities with me hang on many walls

Heyday pictures my history recalls

Proudly I stand determined to the last

Scattering my acorns with great determination

Ensuring life for the next generation

 

So do not scorn the furrows in my skin

Nor criticize the droop in each remaining limb

I have stood here for a thousand years

Firmly rooted to this very spot

Small wonder then I’m going thin on top .
