“Weeping Willows”

7/28/12

Winds swayed you for years
yet your roots deep in earth
but now we feel your tears
nearing death once birth;

Fast was your infant growth
tall did you grow to see
shading and swaying both
seemingly forever so free;

Yet time and age attack
bacteria from deep within
water starving air to lack
vengeance from Gwyn;

Thus your beauty lingers
early Spring to late Fall
catching lyrics of singers
till the earth to recall!
