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 their 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.
