Oak Grove

What are you? A lot of people are like a wheelbarrow, not good unless pushed. Some are like canoes, they have to be pushed. Some are like a kite, if you don't keep them on a string, they fly away. Some are like footballs, you can't tell which way they bounce next. Some are like balloons, full of wind and ready to blow up. Some are like trailers, they have to be pulled. Some are like a good watch, open faced, pure old, quitely busy and full of good works.
