Almost <br />Softly <br />touching the ground. <br />The weeping willow branch <br />gracefully bends, <br />calm <br />and peaceful. <br />A cascading <br />oasis <br />for the girl <br />nestled beneath <br />her branches. <br /> <br />Strong is the trunk <br />on which she leans. <br />Solid <br />and <br />faithful, <br />on that <br />she can <br />depend. <br /> <br />She gazes out <br />at the beautiful waters <br />of the lake <br />surrounding her <br />and a hue of orange <br />from the setting sun <br />on the waters <br />captures her eye. <br /> <br />Peace. <br />Strength. <br />Calm serenity. <br />Joy. <br />She desires <br />these good gifts <br />from the Lord. <br />And she knows <br />He is faithful. <br />And she smiles.<br /><br />Julie A Smith<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/girl-under-the-weeping-willow-tree-oasis/
