Sit and let me tell you....

Sit and let me tell you....

A Poem by ashleigh chantelle

Under the old willow tree
Marks a name now long forgotten
Forever carved into the bark
Standing as strong as the tree
Barring strongly against the wind and the rain
Bravely showing a name long that is long forgotten

The name that was once was on the lips of every person
Branded like a sore red scar
Bares the truth now long lost forgotten
But remembered by the dead now long gone

The name was once of a brave young person
Who did a courageous thing
Now only the old willow tree that stands alone in the meadow
Rooted deep in the soil

Every once in awhile the wind will say the name
Of now the once reminded courageous person
Now only tattooed on the bark of that old willow tree
