Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Willow Tree Wisdom

Willow tree wisdom is the best therapy I have found.
She instills you with advice from her roots underground.
Easy, and fast, and makes you feel surprisingly good.
There is no softer touch or gentler listening wood.

You sit under her, and you pour out your sad little heart.
Sharing your pain with her is truly exceedingly smart.
She keeps your confidence, tells no other person or tree.
She gives you soothing permission to share all with thee.

You can rant and rave, and she keeps it forever to herself.
She keeps it up high, on a long forgotten cannot-reach shelf.
You may sit as long as you want, feeling unconditional love.
Willow tree wisdom comes straight from the good Lord above.

Wait, you lament. I do not have a willow. That is no problem at all.
Oak, elm, weeping almond, or even a sequoia a million feet tall.
Will do in a pinch. They all keep a confidence. They are all very good.
They will throw you His love in the form of twinkly leaves and listening wood.

M. L. Kiser February 16, 2019 at 10:05 PM I love willow trees; had to cut down my favorite cat willow; it was about to fall anyway and I didn't want my garage roof caved in. Excellent poem though and I do agree; you have to let it all out. Caren Krutsinger February 17, 2019 at 12:00 AM I have planted 5 willow trees on 5 different properties. My last one that died was 8.5 years old, and broke my heart. We paid someone else to plant the next one, because I have to always have a willow tree.

Tracy Caren Krutsinger February 17, 2019 at 12:00 AM Thank you Tracy. I have been burned so often by people who cannot keep a confidence even after they tell me they can, I always trust trees now.
