A glorious giant

a towering testament

to time and place

older than the nation

on which you stand

you don't talk but

you speak volumes

of survival

the hurricanes

the droughts

the floods

the summer storms

you've stood through it all

you've stood for it all

you've stood with it all

the little creatures

call you home

they don't worry

they know your

faithfulness

steadfast through

the seasons

your capacious canopy

providing shelter

from the heat of day

the rains

the cold winds

your bountiful boughs

bending but not

breaking

you are not

just an oak tree

you are God's

masterpiece

you were thought of

in the beginning

of time

the idea of you

started before

the Garden of Eden

and so was the

idea of me

and now here

i stand gazing

in awe

in admiration

of all

that you are

for the glory

of our Creator.

The Ancient of Days.
