I am the Willow

 

I am the Willow.

I bend to the will of the Wind.

He is satisfied that he has caused me to weep.

He does not know; I do not break.

His lack of understanding comprehends not;

I am renewed from a depth he will never come to know.

 

Encouragement I gain from the near-by stream as she whispers;

“You are loved.”

The gentle embrace of the cleansing rain heals my wounds.

Even with the scars that remain, she comforts me with the wisdom;

“You are beautiful.”

The Robins build their nest in the shelter that is my branches.

They sing a new song to my soul;

“You are needed.”

The sun rises, light shines through the past darkness.

I recognized a new truth;

I am a survivor.

A bright sunny day of 45 degrees, a beautiful day for the ewe to have her babies. She did well for her first time. She gave birth in the back pasture in the sun. She already had them clean, fed, and up walking, by the time Richard found her at 4 in the afternoon.

Teddy Bear Tears

There are times in a girl’s life when the only comfort she can find is under the covers hugging her Teddy bear while she cries herself to sleep.
