WIllows

I hope this isn't too cryptic for everyone but me....


When first I conjured magic with my tongue,
for Wednesday morning rain and afternoon,
I tried to save their innocence. But, young,
the words confused as ears were out of tune.

I warned of hidden dangers and, in truth,
I preached from under trepidation’s veil,
that blame may get a pardon while in youth
then, older, serve a term in private hell.

The worst was this, my crystal, clear and true,
would prove to be a seer lagging none.
And, yet, with final curtain now in view
my truths seem little matter, lacking one,

as sure as willows bow in troubled wind…
I've loved my children well from end to end.
