Weep willow weep
For all that is
And never was
For all dreams lost
For what once
Was everything
Now to high
A cost
Weep

Weep willow weep
Into the wind
Let others gaze
Upon your beauty
To shallow to
See your pain
I will sit
Until your finished
And wash away
Tear stains

Very nice Connie,  the willow symbolizes so
much...and so many feelings....Perhaps the
name weeping willow is oh so very much
appropriate.....

This was very enjoyable, nice writing and the weeping willow is such a symbolic tree.

Hugs, Marti

(big hugggssssss) Oh Connie, I have always found the weeping willow to be so symbolic too, I always see it representing youth and how we may suffer but in the end, when we turn to Him and grow rich in love, the sunshine will come and we'll weep in joy! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Connie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light alwyas shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Well done - enjoyed this write about one of my favourite trees. Chris
