The Oak Tree

Taking a trip to the old oak tree
it protects me from the blistering
midday sun.
I've been entangled with its limbs
all my life, climbing its trunk and sitting on its branches.
There's a perfect spot that conforms
to my body.
As I go I walk not too fast and not too slow
just with assurity.
That old oak stands firm in the distance and it knows
I'm coming
The tree and I have an understanding
it listens to my stories and my secrets with unyielding support.
It's not even something I could put into words.
This tree is beautiful!
it has weathered storms and been beaten by careless
passer-bys and still she stands, she stands for me.
I love this tree even if it has pelted me with acorns on occasion.
I love this tree for reasons it could never know,
It is not a perfect tree with its bent and gnarly branches,
it has its own scars
but the old oak tree still contents me
and brings solace to my soul.

Twick, this is an excellent piece of work. I know you have done great justice to your mother by writing this poem. I know that she will enjoy this poem as much as I have. Be good and take care.

Aww this is very nice. I like it a lot. It was so discriptive I could just picture you writting this sitting in the tree. It wonderful to have those kinds of places to go to. Very well put:)
