The Everlasting Oak Tree

The Everlasting Oak Tree

Friendship is an oak tree
It’s strong as ever as can be
The harsh winter will try to make it fall
But don’t worry—this won’t ever happen at all
Its roots hold it together
So that it can’t be broken like a feather
And the branches may begin to grow apart
But it’s still together at the heart
The storms break out again and again
But even through each season
It remains standing for all to see
Because it’s an everlasting oak tree

Excellent! I liked this one very much no matter what, the oak tree stands the test of time and weather. In other words...resilience! It's really cool the way you play with words! :-)

Strange question, are you a descendant of Absalom McDonald Young? His history says he was burried under  "The Everlasting Oak Tree" and I am wondering if you have any context about the meaning of this phrase?
