A hunters tribute poam to his Creator and the Oak Tree

[23feetupandhappy]

I have never thought of myself as a poet but this year as I was immersed in the "growing oaks from acorns" for the first time I was inspired to right this poem.


- I'm a hunter - provider - conservationist by design

God created me this way from all else I resign


 


- We love the rut in the fall the strut in the spring

God created this cycle and His praise I do sing


- I'm a hunter at heart and few things quicken its rate

Like a gobblers spring chorus or a big bucks gait


- I take out of need but it also gives me pride

To provide that sweet table fare to tan that hide


- My Creator designed me to use and give back

This earth He put me on a sustainers heart I cannot lack


 


- Some view us as cruel, bloodthirsty without care

But a day without planning for sustaining life is quite rare


-Im a part of His creation a key part indeed

Given the task to manage........... I pick up this seed


 


-It's a small part I know the one that I play

A key part for this Mighty Oak on this fall day


-I plant you with care and with wonder watch you grow

Soon put in the ground in some kind of row


 


-You'll have to survive winter, antlers and rabbits nibbling's

To maybe hopefully someday you and I to be like siblings


-A special kinship indeed words won't need spoken

I pray you'll grow tall and that you won't be broken


-I will sit in your branches longing to know your story

God's creation on display a glimpse of his Glory


 


-We climb your heights or sit at your base

Awaiting the days first rays a chill they will chase


 


-The things we witness the things we see

Perched up in the branches of this Oll Oak Tree


-The perfect ambush you make the best view in the wood

My bow limbs bend back arrow placed where it should


-Many turkeys to shoot lots of deer also to take

This tree aids them in life but its meat that it helps me to make


 


-You provide acorns for critters homes for the tired

Beautiful wood and blazing heat for our furniture and campfires


 


-Thank you Lord for the Mighty Oak and for creating us to be Free

Life would not be the same without You or the Oll Oak Tree
