The Oak of LIfe
Deep within the forest's heart, where whispers softly speak,
Stands the mighty Twin Oak, resplendent and unique.
Its roots run deep in earth's embrace, like kidneys pure and strong,
Filtering life's essence, in the dance of nature's song.
Its trunk, a steadfast column, the spine that bears the load,
Uplifts the weary branches as they lighten every road.
The branches stretch like arms to hold the sky's embrace,
With leaves like fingers, tender, caressing air and space.
Upon each branch, the blossoms bloom, vibrant in array,
A myriad of flowers, each with a role to play.
The roses are the eyes that see the beauty all around,
The lilacs are the ears that catch each subtle sound.
The daisies form the lips that speak of truth and grace,
And orchids are the heart that beats in every place.
The tulips dance like legs that move with gentle ease,
While violets are the lungs that breathe the forest breeze.
Each petal tells a story, each leaf a whispered prayer,
Together they compose a form, a body bright and fair.
The healthy Twin Oak tree, a symbol true and wise,
Reflects the human body under nature's watchful eyes.
Its branches, flowers, leaves, in harmony they sing,
A symphony of life, where health and beauty spring.
So let us honor nature's gift, and cherish what we see,
In the wondrous Twin Oak, the kidneys of the tree.
