Weeping Willow

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.

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. 🙂
