Besma my dearest friend where are all your beautiful poems, I haven't seen any posted since the 27th of last month and I miss them so, found this one whose words are so true. These trees will adapt to any weather in their life span and will survive, maybe humans should watch and learn! Thank-you for all your comment my friend and soul sister, poetry hugs Jennifer.

Such graceful inspiration, dearest Besma, flows wondrously though your poetic pen, spilling a glorious message in the imagery of the willows - weeping in sadness but strong in its flexible and unbreakable branches that hold onto faith through times that challenge our devotion, trust and love.. survival and hope anchored in its roots. Beauty fills your poem and your poem fills my heart, my lovely friend. Warmest wishes and shining love always.. ~Susan p.s. a fav!

This is an inspiring poem with an inspirational message, it can also be used in humans that when our time is bad, we should have faith in our God and we should stand there with patience that surely God will finally help as He said that don t worry the help is on the way, this is a beautiful haiku of trees surviving, we should also pick up their example, good luck and thanks for commenting on my poems
