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.
