Water Ripples and a Willow Tree

Water Ripples and a Willow Tree Would a willow weep herself to sleep? But before she does count her sheep That are laying below each long limb In shadows where light is low and dim. One of the sheep soon went astray From her mother did wonder away To see wide world with its each sight Which she will adore and did delight. River rapidly ran then slowed down Saw and heard ripples make a sound And were in a mostly circular shape She never know how or way to escape. Ripples gently passed the willow tree And then started heading out to sea Until a current existed everywhere Now each ripple is no longer there. Willow soon woke up very next day To God her prayers she soon did say Thanking Him for His each wonder And branches below her that are under.
