Strength

The Oak

A weed grew up under an oak,
It would bend when ere a breeze blew,
"You’re not strong and tall like me"
" I would’t want to be you ,"
The weed became the butt of his jokes..

One day a wind rustled the oak,
As it make a hurricane sound,
"You’re so weak, teased the tree
The weed bent close to the ground,
The mighty tree didn’t bend, it just broke.

Silk and Steel

Strength is often hidden
In ways almost unreal
Strand for strand though it seems so supple
Silk is stronger than steel

Hard and ridged are signs of strength
But aren't we allowed to feel
When it comes to holding weight, though soft and supple
Silk is stronger than steel
