In the Crook of the Oak tree

Sitting in the crook of a tree
quietly Hiding, so no one sees me

Life is happening all around
My happy smile Finally, I found

I’m not sure where she’s been hiding
I lost myself and stopped confiding

Years of hoping and always trusting
Time moves too fast; don’t sit rusting

climb down and face the day
Speak your peace, have a say

Before the day moves to the night
Put anguish and tears out of sight

In the crook of a tree, I find comfort
It gives me the time to sit and sort

When it’s okay, I climb down
My face was no longer a frown

I found strength sitting in the crook of a tree
Strong limbs always mold and shape me
