The "Old Broken Oak" is a metaphor for human aging.
Just as old trees can live for hundreds of years before decaying, human life also begins to lose health over the years, and illnesses weaken our condition. We become fragile, and even the smallest accident can rob us of our self-confidence.
The trunk of a tree may break, but its roots can keep it standing for a long time. A person's strong self-esteem and positive contacts with their environment are like supportive roots that help us to the end
