Like An Oak Tree

Like an oak tree, she stands strong!
Moving with the ways of the wind,
Whatever branches may break, she will mend.
Worn and tattered she is year after year,
But she'll never look it, have no fear.
With a  heart of gold,
All the decisions she makes are bold.
Like an oak tree, she stands strong!
She stands with an outpouring of faith,
For in God's love does she daily bathe.
Tears, heartaches, and troubles are found,
But often overwritten with the love God spreads around.
As teacher and doctor, as aunt and sister,
As fighter and lover, as counselor and mother;
Like an oak tree, she stands strong!
Armed with intelligence and full of emotions,
Others she helps through her daily devotion.
Words of wisdom flow from her tongue,
Teaching and sharing that God's words can't be undone.
Filled with the spirit deep within,
Held by God's hand - she'll always win;
For like an oak tree.....she stands strong!
