The Weeping Willow
Folder:
Poems That Make You Think
Swaying in the breeze
Amongst all the trees
Is the great weeping willow
I walk to this tree
So that I may see
Why it is weeping so
I sit under and feel the shade
And listen to the sounds it has made
It seems to know something I don't know
I asked the tree questions I had
I wished to know why it was so sad
But when it didn't answer, I decided to go
Then I stopped and heard a whisper
Almost as if it had the answer
That at first it didn't show
The tree told me wonderful things
Things I had never known
It told me to stay different
No matter what you're told
The tree is not sad, but happy
It looks different but it doesn't mind
This is the way it was put on the earth
And it sways along to show how it shines
So remember that no matter what you do
And no matter where you go in life
There are always differences
And not everything is the same
If you look close enough, you can see
That everything and everyone
Really is different
