The Willow Tree
Whenever you look at the willow tree - remember - it is you.
It's delicate, but very strong at the same time.
It's quiet and graceful both in good times, and in adversity.
It can shelter its friends from the forces outside,
And it can show us all how to bend with the wind,
And how, after the storm has expended all its energy,
The storm is gone,
But the tree remains.
