Why the Willow Weeps

why the willow weeps please tell me why the willow weeps why does he hide the secret he keeps why is he standing there so all alone why did the sparrow make him her home the sparrow stopped by and she told me why her song was so sweet like a lullabye his branches so heavy the burden so great he wanted to fly but that's not his fate so when she perched upon this great tree she realized the value of being free she is so small while he stands like a tower she's just a bird and him more like a flower she often stopped by just to talk and to rest she loved him so much that she made her nest all nestled and warm while out of the sun they're not the same and he's still the one they'll never be family only just friends never knowing the bond the birth of kids sends and so fate has now made them both realize just how cruel life is and that's why he cries By: Jeremy Siedlecki
