Beautiful Oak Tree Poem by Shaakiera Schroeder

Your soul and memory of your life is like a beautiful oak tree.
You provide shelter from the storm…homes for the homeless…humans like creatures, all different, finds sanctuary within you! Shade, when reality burns like the angry sun…and most importantly, you provide oxygen which helps us breathe… even when we no longer want to!
You stand tall and firm…reaching to the sky…reminding us to look up and know there is a reason …you now fly!
Beautiful Angel …we look up and imagine your smile!
We may not know why…you fly…
Beautiful Angel ….but,
You live in everything…
From the wind in the trees….to the drops of the rain…the colors’ of the flowers and the blue of the sky!
We see you Angel…
We see you smile!
