Magic Willow
There once was a boy and a magic willow tree
For in this tree the boy was all that he could be
The tree was old and strong
And together is where they belong
The branches hung low but the tree stood high
And together the boy believed they could fly
Adventures would arise
Many bad guys found there demise
The tree was a space ship ready for flight
To take the boy far out of sight
The tree was a fort
Or a big ship coming to port
The tree was a jungle gym
Letting the boy swing from limb to limb
When the boy ran out of imagination
This was not cause for hesitation
He still had yet to reach the top
Maybe a little afraid of the drop
But with this tree nothing was impossible
No adventure was ever stoppable
The higher the boy climbed
The more the world shined
As the top grew near
Far was he from fear
Together they saved the day
And all along it was just play
There came a time when the tree had to go
The boy was sad, but he did not know
That where this tree once stood, many more would grow
