Underneath a Willow Tree
I sat down underneath a willow tree
far from the crowds in a secluded place.
Soon all my worldly cares began to flee.
God’s beauty all around me I could see.
While supple limbs moved in the breeze with grace,
I sat down underneath a willow tree.
Wildflowers swayed beneath a buzzing bee
and dancing shadows seemed to interlace.
Soon all my worldly cares began to flee.
I watched intently when I noticed three
small chickadees to some big crows gave chase!
I sat down underneath a willow tree.
Some rabbits scurried through the field. With glee,
I pictured myself with them in a race!
Soon all my worldly cares began to flee.
Serenity and joy had come to me
while occupying my newfound sweet space.
I sat down underneath a willow tree.
Soon all my worldly cares began to flee.
