A God Given Tree Poem by Frederick Nellist

Noblest of giants surveying the glade
Unbroken by tempest spared by man
An emerald canopy a chrysalis green
Conforming exactly to Gods own plan.

A comforting sentinel a tree of state
Boughs aromatic, a soft brown hue
A most splendid tree none can relate
Of your majestic stature only a few.

You are home to many Gods creatures
Birds of a feather you've enraptured
Many mankind admired your features
Their awe of you is forever captured.

The seed of your life just a tiny acorn
Your limbs stood the test not one broke
Myriads of leaves did your cloak adorn
A tree made by God the magnificent oak.
