On the River Bank

Whither,
O willow,
weeping so free-
shading the stream unto
the
sea.
Hither,
O willow,
whisper to me-
the comings and goings
you see.

Sharon Winter Date: 4/13/2009 7:55:00 AM You bring life to the Willow (my favorite tree) as it well deserves for it's beauty cannot be compared. Well, it has special meaning to me, as one is planted in our front yard as symbol of my tears when my mom passed. You paint a beautiful picture and more. Love, Shar Login to Reply
