Two Years of Winter Comes
Willow tree, why do you weep?
Yes, Spring has left your long arms,
and Fall has made you dormant,
but there is still life in there somewhere.
Tall, ancient tree, those memories
should keep you alive, awake
until the next dawn does break;
there are many things to wait for.
You’ll know it when love steps back in,
when God himself melts the snow
from your branches and beckons you
to make yourself green once again.
So, why weep, willow tree?
Only close your eyes until the winter’s over,
I’ll watch that no harm will come to you
as you have forever protected me.
