Old Oak Tree
My favorite tree. This old oak tree is near the mouth of Pony Creek. Have visited it many times over the years. As a child I camped with my uncle and cousin underneath. It once provided shelter for my horse and me in a sudden rain storm. Walked from the tree to watch fish swim in the clear water of Pony Creek. And, swam in the Paluxy river a few yards away. If I were ever to become so destitute I had to call a tree my home or if I ever become so affluent I can call a tree my home, this is where you might find me. Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come. - Chinese proverb
