The
Willows
The
Willow tree used to be the mightiest of trees. It stood tall and strong like a
mighty Oak. It was the most beautiful, most perfect tree on earth. It was vain
and full of greed. The mighty Willow would announce how perfect it was and how
there was nothing more beautiful than its exquisite color and strong limbs. The
Willow instructed God to stop trying to create unblemished beauty because
nothing was greater than them. God told the Willow that its vanity would be its
downfall because there was a being more pure, more beautiful than them. They
scoffed at God and told him that’s not possible. If there is such a creature we
will bow before it for all eternity. God accepted there offer. God showed them
his most perfect creation. When the Willows looked at my Angel they began to
cry at the pure beauty that was before them. They accepted their defeat and
bowed in silent reverence. Now for all eternity these trees will be known as
Weeping Willows and will never again stand tall with vanity.
