Carole Duet Poet Rhyme

Our Weeping Willow Mourns

By the blue lake one sunny day
  a willow watched us laugh and play.
Cool water surrounded our young love
  and the willow watched us from above.
We embraced with such passion strong
  as the willow sang a love song.
But you suddenly disappeared one rainy day
  and I began to kneel and pray.
I wept and wept and felt so forlorn
  and our beautiful weeping willow mourned.
