Weeping willow
The willow bends in the storm without breaking, its drooping branches, willow canopy which almost always stretches toward water, symbolizing a "thirsty soul" reaching for the divine, despite your appearance of sadness, my willow is resilient, often re-rooting even if cut down, symbolizing the hope of renewal.
Silvery underbellies of leaves, long slender branches dipping into water, swaying in the breeze, for I know you are listening too my soul, whom longs for Gods love..
Oh weeping willow, with roots that go deep... in your embrace, strength and solace are found."
"Tears take over like waves in the sea, just like her branches and leaves drooping forward, this grieving tree."
"Do not mistake my weeping for weakness; it is the rain that softens the earth, allowing my roots to grow ever deeper."
“ The willow weeps, but the roots hold as longing for grief but looks for strength in faith.
