“SOFT IS THE WILLOW” by Bill Charles ~~~~ Sometimes I see the lonely weeping willow, crying tears by the still waters, pouring from her heart… It reminds me of mine when it wept, as I sat beneath her boughs, and she caressed my sadness… And I knew of her pain when I closed my eyes, and felt her tears combine with mine, as they flowed… Soft is the willow, when she reaches, touches, knowing and sharing pain, as I slowly disappear into her loving arms… ~~~~ |

*sigh* I remember how romantic weeping willows always seemed to me but I also remember that they were a place where I could go to privately shed tears of heartache. Magical writing that brought back soft memories. Thank you so much for sharing these heartfelt words. |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Bill, this is so very sad, but also soooooo romanticly beautiful! (big hugggssssss) You have a very sweet and loving heart, and she is so very lucky to have a sweet sensitive husband who will always be there for her when she feels sad and needs someone to share her tears with, and you are that special man! (smiles) God Bless You, dearest Bill! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bill, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Startime - romantic they are, always a special place in my heart for them, as they serenely stand near the waters... Thank you for your reply. JamesMichael - thank you James for your reply. Mistletoe Angel - your words are too kind, but very appreciated. I'm glad that you liked it, as it is not only sad, but has much meaning... Thank you again... |

Willows have a special place in our minds. They are so peaceful....and yes, consoling. Thanx for sharing. |
