Now the Acorn Forgotten (Achievement #31 = 3 points)

An oak tree, old and tall,

blushes red in Fall.

Where once was Summer's green

gentle fire is seen.

Acorns fatten brown and sweet

squirrels collect to eat.

Winter's early breath is blowing cold,

hungry days ahead, it scolds.

Little squirrels, scurry

harvest acorns, hurry.

Bury, bury now for later,

eat your fill till weather's better.

Spring renews the oak.

leaves of green again it cloaks.

Now the acorn forgotten

warmth and rain awaken.

Growing up and finding sun,

new life has begun.

Seasons change o'er many years,

till an oak, old and tall, appears.
