Oh weeping willows, how I wish you wouldn't cry.
I know how much it hurts, when people prod and pry.

My heart, to, hurts tonight, as yours does everynight,
I see you stand tall and proud, within the moonlight,
Yet, you still shed your tears as you tremble in fright.

Don't be afraid for here I am,
And together, united we will stand.
You see, life is filled with ups and downs,
And smiles and frowns.

It will only change when you think its time,
To allow your fear to unwind.
Then the strength inside, you'll find.
So just be true to yourself and you'll see,
That your soul will be confident and free.

So do not weep, dear friend of mine,
For in us all you'll find,
Feelings that will be both warm and kind..

I don't know what to say! I love weeping willow trees, they're so beautiful, and I also love this poem!

But with autumn leaf she perish'd, long time ago..."
