Weeping Willow
The weeping willow hangs over
the tiny patio, casting an enormous shadow.
The soft breeze mixes with the sweet smell
coming from the nearby kitchen.
The tiny patio casting an enormous shadow,
cousins, aunts, uncles
coming from the nearby kitchen
trying to forget their sorrow.
Cousins, aunts, uncles,
the sadness lies deep in their heavy hearts.
Trying to forget their sorrow,
a sad sound comes from the smelly dog.
The sadness lies deep in their heavy hearts,
lunch is served.
A sad sound comes from the smelly dog,
we pray for the one who left us too early.
Lunch is served,
the soft breeze mixes with the sweet smell.
We pray for the one who left us too early,
the weeping willow hangs with us.
