Shelter of the Weeping Willow

You drew me to you
  with your limbs and leaves 
hanging down to protect me.
  I thought you was made to cry for me.
but... now I can look at you as protecting me
  from the things that makes me cry
and helping me to rise
  no matter what the size
you was my shelter in the mist of the storm.
