Lovely Willow Tree

by Rachel Perkins

She stands there alone

Sohd and beautiful

She sways with the breeze

She soaks up the warm sun

She wonders,"Why am I alone?"

She ponders and ponders

Then ponders some more

She sighs as she thinks,

"Oh surely I am not alone."

She keeps company with

The stars and the moon

She sings along

As the crickets chirp

She sees many visitors

Friends on picnics

People fishing

Couples walking with their hands clasped tight

She listens as the wind

Howls and whistles

She thinks,"No. I am not alone at all."

She is a kind friend

To many

She shares her home willingly

She houses and protects

Many creatures

She offers shade

To all who pass by

She is a sight to behold

She stands there

Not so alone

She is both solid and beautiful

She sways with the breeze She soaks up the warm sun

She is the lovely willow tree
