Weeping Willow
                 (Why do you weep)

   I see you standing there so impressive
So large and so strong
Next to a still pond in the meadow
You’ve been standing proud for so long

I see the boat tied to the dock
And the area for where children play
But the boat remains empty now
And the children have grown and gone away

So now your days are lonely
It’s just the boat and you
You both reminisce about the old days
But there’s nothing ever new

Sometimes the Sun shines
And sometimes there’s the occasional storm
But it’s always really just the same if you
Get cold you have memories to keep you warm

Do you stay and pray for a day when once
Again children’s laughter will reign
And the boat will float from the dock
And feel the sense of belonging regain

Oh weeping willow the stories you could
Tell and the secrets that you keep
I wish you could tell me everything and the
Reason weeping willow why do you weep
