Mighty Oaks

Listen to the senior folks
Who've stood in life as mighty oaks.
Of wisdom they have gathered much,
Which gives to them a special touch.

By their faith they have strong root,
And by their wisdom bear much fruit.
From them you can gather treasure,
More than you can even measure.

In tough times they've struggled through
And know just how to help you too.
Stay near to these lovely folks
Who by their faith are mighty oaks.

"The glory of young men is their strength, and the beauty of old men is their gray head (suggesting wisdom and experience)."
Proverbs 20:29 Amplified Bible
