As I watch from my window sill <br />and look bryond the rolling hills <br />My thoughts travel to a place and time <br />Where my heart heaves sublime <br /> <br />I saw the willow weeping low <br />It's saddened heart long bestowed <br />I had to wonder why it wept <br />And the answers that it's weeping kept <br /> <br />Willow why do you weep? <br />What is it that you think you need? <br />Could it be because your dispirited and dark? <br />That you feel you've not left your mark. <br /> <br />Could it be that in your somber state <br />You've overlooked your own estate? <br />Your mournful melancholy ways <br />have left you in such disarray <br /> <br />Can you not see how others see you? <br />Your beholding beauty for all to view <br />Your generous and bestowing ways <br />will help you grow to see better days <br /> <br />Weary willow do not weep <br />for your wise and wonderful roots run deep <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />24 April 2007 <br />Revised 7 Aug 2008<br /><br />JoJo Bean<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/willow-why-do-you-weep/
