The Willow Tree

Everyone has that special place Where they can disappear A place to count your blessings Or hide from all your fear Mine was a magical willow tree A place I often hid To me, that tree was many things When I was just a kid It sometimes was my fortress That kept me safe from harm I never lost a single battle Under my good luck charm Sometimes, it was my castle With many dragons to slay A kinght in shining armor While searching for my prey Sometimes, it was my spaceship Exploring near and far Master of the universe Chasing that distant star To me, that tree was everything I ever wanted to pretend And whenever I was lonely That tree was my best friend Sometimes, I really miss it It was a special place to me The time I spent was magical Underneath my willow tree

Great rhyme full of special childhood memories. I love how children are so naively imaginative; it's sad that we lose so much of that quality as we grow. I was drawn in by your title & I wasn't disappointed. A really enjoyable read.
