THE LONESOME WILLOW
There stands a weeping willow
Why does she cry
It is such a prime place
She stands by
Her attire is full and beautiful
Such a classic gown
Plus she is firmly planted
In the finest place in town
Folks pay dearly for this river view
So willow why should you weep?
Did you say it's because you're lonely
And your roots are planted deep?
You tell me bunnies hop away
And the birds are free to fly
And you are here to live alone
Until the day you die
But so many people gather here
Your shade is so inviting
And you're the subject of a thousand poems
Just like the one I'm writing
So weep no more my lady
Please know how you're so grand
The one thing on this river's edge
Where boaters wish to land
Let the wind blow through your hair
And sing quietly nature's song
Weep no more my willow
Be single and be strong
