I am a Willow Tree

I am a willow tree, sturdy and proud
I bow to the sun and I welcome the crowd
An enchanting mystic, to wallow in shade
My resilience astounding, unwilling to fade 
I cry in the West, mournfully blue
Bringing life in the East with a positive hue
Adapting through time, I offer a portal 
To a life just like mine, eternal immortal 
When asked what I am, I declare very loud
That I am a willow tree, sturdy and proud
