Mighty Tree

I would like to say that the men and women who have served our country in the military are mighty Oaks. Happy Veterans Day! 11/11/11
At my front door stands this mighty OAK. What an awesome sight. I feel small and young standing under these limbs! Found this poem I love!
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,5
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.10
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer 1886-1918
