I sit alone beneath a weeping willow tree <br />To ponder thoughts I keep in memory; <br />The sky above is a delicate gentle blue <br />As were your eyes, alight with love so true. <br />I never asked that we be here forever <br />Only that we stroll through this life together; <br />It didn't seem too much to ask for then <br />Had I to do it over I would ask the same again. <br />You deserved much better than you got from life <br />You knew only hardship and bitter strife; <br />I pray that it wasn't altogether all my fault <br />That it may ease my conscience in my thought. <br />I will always hope to meet you by and by <br />Amidst peace and happiness somewhere in the sky; <br />If it be the will of God above <br />We may dwell always in the light of love. <br />As a little child cries into its pillow soft <br />I hear a faint weeping coming from aloft; <br />Might it be only the sound of a vagrant breeze <br />Flowing sadly through the weeping willows leaves?<br /><br />Charlie Spaulding<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prayerful-reflections/
