My heart aches for Texas and those affected by Hurricane Harvey, especially those I know and love. I feel so helpless, and wish I knew the right words to bring comfort and hope. I am so inspired and proud of the strength of my fellow Texans. I shared this poem with a friend of mine and I hope it gives comfort and strength to those who need to find strength during this difficult time. 📷 houstonchron .

The Oak Tree

by Johnny Ray Ryder Jr

A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree's leaves away
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark

But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around
The weary wind gave up and spoke.
How can you still be standing Oak?

The oak tree said, I know that you
Can break each branch of mine in two
Carry every leaf away
Shake my limbs, and make me sway

But I have roots stretched in the earth
Growing stronger since my birth
You'll never touch them, for you see
They are the deepest part of me

Until today, I wasn't sure
Of just how much I could endure
But now I've found, with thanks to you
I'm stronger than I ever knew
