I am the Willow

I may bend
And I may break

I may sway
And I may sigh

You may see
Just a willow tree

But I stand on high
Even when danger in nigh

I shelter all earthly things
In my large lodgings

So let me in the still
Stand on my hill

For I may creak
And I may crack

But I will hold
In the bitter cold

Taking only what is mine
And giving for a time

So let me be
My own tree

Leave my sanctuary
And do not tarry

For you do not belong
In my earthly throng

You are a danger
As a stranger

Taking what is not yours
And sailing from unearthen shores

Go now and let me be
A solemn willow tree

    i'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, i can see you've went to a lot of trouble, but the contest requires 10 words only, i think you're a little over.
