[bodytext] => Old Oak Tree ~~~~ When I was young There was this old oak tree In our front yard Big as could be Its limbs seemed to reach Up to the sky During Hide-go-seek It’s where I would hide But over the years It seemed to lean too far Towards the house And towards dad’s car Then one-day dad said It had to go All it would take Is one good blow He looked at mom And said it all could be gone It could take the house The car, the barn So they made a plan To cut it down This old oak tree In this tired old town I remember the day It’s fresh in my mind The last day on that tree I would ever climb When daddy cut it down I never thought he would How important it was to me I thought he understood I watched as it laid On the ground In thousands of pieces It could be found A little heart As small as mine Was caught up in This sad time Days when by And maybe a few years Time seemed to dry All my tears But to this day I still miss that tree And all the memories That use to be Now on that spot Twenty years later Stands a new oak tree The Lord did favor It grew up big Bold and true Just like the old oak tree I once knew [comments] => 2 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 23 [informant] => Jeff_Scott_Morehead [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FamilyPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
