Title: The Wishing Willow Tree

I was roaming around in the jungle,

when someone landed right beside me,

A cheeky fairy with a wand in hand,

and in the next moment I was a willow tree.

From then on, I stood there in the jungle,

as my branches grew old day by day,

I watched the predators, preys and plants,

and the village children coming out to play.

Then one fine day as I stood there,

the wind blowing, making my leaves sway,

A little girl no older than six,

walked up crying in loud dismay.

She wrapped her arms around my thick trunk,

and said, "I want a goat really badly!"

Then a goat walked up, she erupted with joy,

From then on, I was the wishing willow tree.

Parents would pour out all their troubles,

and children would excitedly run up to me,

So when I find myself in depression or regret,

I think of myself as the wishing willow tree.
