Gary Smith Poet Rhyme

A Weeping Willow Mourns

Bended limbs in sadness bowed

What burden do you bear,

Weeping willow, weep with me

For one no longer there.

Here beneath your shading boughs

Tears course down my cheek,

For a life without her

Is no life I seek.

So come weeping willow mourn,

For a heart, now incomplete.
