To the Oak

Dear big oak tree,

Thank you for protecting me

Thank you for offering me help and absorbing my bigger emotions

Thank you for dancing your leaves in the breeze

All the shaking create the loveliest rustling of sound

Thank you for bobbing you branches up and down and hearing me out and agreeing with me

Thank you for shielding me from the sun and being home to so many

Although the book didn't come from you, thank you for living again as another
