An oak tree has to be a woman
There are just too many similarities to ignore
An oak tree is known for uncompromising strength
It takes a beaten from the wind, rain, floods, and all kind of natural disasters
At the end of the day it stands tall
She comes home from work tired and weathered
She still finds time to take care of her 5 children
She feeds them lots of hugs, kisses, fried chicken, and cornbread
She stretches her budget like a thirsty tree stretches it¢s arms
She listens to the secrets of her mother and her mothers mother
Who can find a confidant more trustworthy than her
An oak tree has to be a woman
dawn on my sleepy morning, excitement—when you whisper hello
