The Willow Tree Long branches overhanging Swaying in the wind That's how I feel these days Hidden and timid So pretty and beautiful So secretive and shy That's how I feel these days Struggling and with a knot I can't untie I want to be pretty Though not swaying with the wind That would just make me uncomfortable And really quite unhinged I wish I was a willow tree Not a care in the world Apart from during the thunderstorms And with those pesky birds I want to be beautiful And slender, long and slim But how can I When I seem to be so dim 15 Years Later- I look back up at the willow tree And a happiness comes upon me "Mum," I turn around And see my little Rosie So happy and joyful Not a care in the world I think of what I wished for Just before my #life took a turn I started dieting And stopped my normal eating Just looking at food Was an unwanted greeting One day I was brought to hospital When my parents caught me fainting We then all decided That my #life needed repainting Though I felt that my #life wouldn't get better Well that's what it seemed Because one year later I met The man of my dreams We got married And had a wonderful daughter Rosie we called her And now my #life is full of laughter Be careful what you wish for And be smart, please do But for now, my willow tree I bid adieu
