As I watch from my window sill
and look bryond the rolling hills
My thoughts travel to a place and time
Where my heart heaves sublime
I saw the willow weeping low
It's saddened heart long bestowed
I had to wonder why it wept
And the answers that it's weeping kept
Willow why do you weep?
What is it that you think you need?
Could it be because your dispirited and dark?
That you feel you've not left your mark.
Could it be that in your somber state
You've overlooked your own estate?
Your mournful melancholy ways
have left you in such disarray
Can you not see how others see you?
Your beholding beauty for all to view
Your generous and bestowing ways
will help you grow to see better days
Weary willow do not weep
for your wise and wonderful roots run deep
