Weeping Willow, weep no more
though heart is frayed by cruel snow;
God has come, He won’t ignore
the darkness of this world below.
King in earthly flesh, in straw
was laid on cold December eve;
One whose sacrifice would thaw
the winter’s frost; please, do not grieve.
Love a poem that starts out with weeping willows, Melody. Love the photo. Talking about weeping willows, if you haven’t heard this poet-musician from Tupelo, Paul Thorne, you really should. I was captivated when a friend took me to a concert here in town. His music is not just of one type, but all types together and yet none. Spiritual yet down to earth. He is a true poet. I think you would appreciate his work. 🙂
Thanks Eric – I’ll check it out!
Paul Thorn, not Thorne. Bedebedebede, that’s all folks! 😉

Oh Mel, this just rocketed to the top of my Faves list, at least in the Christmas category!! 5-Star, and then some! (We have snow accumulation this a.m.) God bless you–love, Caddo
