"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."- Winston S. Churchill


Drooping with elegance,
Swaying with class,
There stands a weeping willow.

Beside clear waters,
Shading cool grass,
Its branches wave hello.

From beneath the willow I do see,
Up above a small yellow bird,
Flitting at me.

On twigs is where the petite orchids grow,
With a faint purple hue,
Wavering smooth and slow.

The willow tells secrets,
Listen closely to the wind,
It'll tell its life story,
If it can only find where to begin.
