The Weeping Willow

There it stands a child beneath
Forever he will lay underneath
Intertwined with its roots
His parents were such brutes

As nature takes its course
The willow protects his corpse
Shielded from the wind and rain
There shall be no more pain

With each passing storm
The willow keeps its form
Keeping safe a child misused
He never should've been abused

After the willow is no more
He will shrivel from the core
