Strong Trees

Godly folks are as strong trees
Whose roots go very deep
Into the soil of righteousness
And many harvests reap.

Planted in the Word of God
And with humble raiment shod,
They will nurture and "shade" folks,
Causing them to be as oaks...

Strong in stature, reaching high
Unto Heaven to draw nigh,
Having roots which go down deep
And even more rich harvests reap.

"Blessed is the man... whose delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
Psalm 1:1-3 KJV
