I grew up under the branches of a very special Willow Tree
Her branches protected me from dangerous things
That she could only see
Her branches kept me warm on the coldest winter days
When others' leaves went away, hers still stayed
Years and years went by
I saw her less and less
And then one day, she caught a sickness
That would take her to rest
Her trunk started to decay
She fought it off the best she could
Until it devoured her body
One terrible day
She left a hole in the ground when they took her away
My beautiful Willow Tree could not stay
Her branches couldn’t hold me
They couldn’t keep me warm
They couldn’t protect me anymore
The last thing I had to remember my Willow Tree by
Was a copper leaf that made me cry
It reminded me of all the pain
But it also reminded me of the special memories we made
She might not be here
But she will always be
My beautiful Willow Tree

Little lady, my perfect neice
Unconditonal love will never cease
Captivated by your smile
Important to me by a mile
Never will you need a thing
Delicate angel without wings
Aunty Katie wrote you this
(written with love and sealed with a kiss)
