The Willow

Straight and powerful there she stood
Arms stretched against the wind
Her strength and might oh so good
Strong enough to bend

How the wind did rage
And how it did howl
To bring down she of age
To smite asunder limb and bough

But on she prevailed
Through the tempest oh so fury
Though mightier have failed
And of them earth did bury

So she stood that night
A sentinel to the light
To strengthen all that might
Upon her lay their sight

And there she stands today
A beacon to behold
Never far away
A blessing to be told
