The Weeping Willow
The weeping willow weeps for us
It knows the depths of our demise
They weep for children who were abused
Those
who suffered from those accused,
These bad men did not comply,
to laws they should have carried high
They
stripped the young of innocence
They paved a life of suffering
They robbed them of their faith,
Sentenced
them to a life time of mistakes
And what resulted from the pain,
was weeping willows crying out in vain
But we must forgive
and let it go
For these we pray
for they don’t know
As Jesus told
us long ago
“they know
not what they do”
Sometimes we
lose all that we have
It vanishes into
the abyss of the night
Our lives lie
bear, cold and dead
We wonder what
happened with great dread
Then suddenly
there is this vision
A tiny glimpse
of the future
Our blindness
is suddenly lifted
We find what
was always conflicting
We are now caught
between darkness and light
We struggle to
venture down the path that is bright
Our pain is subsiding,
our heart is on fire
We know it’s
there but we still can’t conspire
How do we get
there, I mean out of the tunnel
The tunnel with
two paths, one dark, one light
We ponder the
way not knowing which to choose
So again we ask
which way do we muse
The only way
out of the tunnel is this;
Hand and hand
with the one who has been there
A friend is gently
guiding the way
To get to the
place of a bright sunny day
Finally we venture
on the road that is bright
The one with
the hope and all of the light
But remember
this, and don’t ever forget
Let go and Let God
and you will be set
By Rachel
