They grew tall and straight and bold
For many years they adorned Oklahoma towns
Folks were proud of them and they
Were resilient and stood their ground
As time went on the landscape changed
Homes sprouted where land was forlorn
These trees of distinction flourished
Couples married and babies were born
And then Mother Nature grew harsh one day
Tornadoes angrily tore right through
It was a horrible disaster
It hit the country and the cities too
Time marched on, of course, before
New seeds sprouted and trees begun
And after many years once more
There are beautiful trees of distinction!
