Among The Willow And Weeds
I sat among the boughs of many willow and weeds
planting the seed of knowledge in my brain
I soaked up the warmth of fantasy and novel
of adventures to big for me and you
when we were 5
I sat among the students on many spring days
the seed of wanting more slowly dying away
I still soaked up the warmth of fantasy and novel
of adventures to big for me and you
when we were 7
I sat among the students on many fall and winter days
not caring that what I learned in class was to help me someday
Only wanting to just go outside and play
I still soaked up the warmth of fantasy and novel
of adventures to big for me and you
when we were 10
Now I still sit among the students, but not ones I knew before
The boughs of willow and weeds are miles away
And so are you
So to keep my heart alive I read more
I soak up the warmth of fantasy and novel
of adventures to big for me and you
Among the virtual Willow and Weeds
