Gracious old man

There is a public park not far from me. Dog walkers, joggers and families enjoy this wooded area down near the Estuary. Most people don't see him down there. This gracious old man stands on his own as most walk under his arms oblivious to his magnificence. A few visit from time to time and spend a while in quiet contemplation. Walk around his body and wonder how long he has been there. How long he will be there. The stories this old Oak could tell.
