Old Sugar Land Oaks

Sugar Land, Texas

The Live Oak

Our heritage is a Live Oak, the roots lie buried,
spread wide and unseen, digging deep, the anchor of our being.

Our heritage is a Live Oak, the branches stretched out from old to new,
occasionally to break and wither from view.

Our heritage is a Live Oak, the limbs spread wide to shade and shelter,
if not sought, no protection is brought.

I keep saying we need to get all of these live oaks registered with the LOS. www.lgcfinc.org. It is not just a Louisiana program, it is nationwide.
