Under the Willow Tree

Gazing up through the branches and the eaves
Up past the bark, the forks and the leaves
I lie and remember
The times most forgot
The nights and days
The they thought were all lost
The times when we chilled
And laughed til we cried
The times when the silence was all that had died
The times when we thought
That ignorance was bliss
And the nights we spent together
Was all we would miss
Back when we camped out
With the ground as our pillow
We would hike all day
Just to sleep under the willow
Back when we thought
That happiness never ends
Back when we were all
The very best of friends
I sit here and remember every memory
Especially the ones when we were together
Under the willow tree
