Do you see Trees the way I do?
I walked up to a weeping willow and asked him his name?
You know my name my friend it is always the same
I asked him why his branches fall down into cold rushing water?
He replied. It’s not just water It’s the tear of people who falter
I walked up to an oak tree and asked him his name?
Thousands upon thousands of years it’s always been the same
I asked the Oak tree, why he was so big and fat with braches oh so long?
He replied, There to catch the minute music from all the churches praising song
I walked up to a Pine tree and asked him his name?
For years and years it’s always been the same
I asked the pine tree, why his tree was so beautiful yet painful to touch?
He replied, the devil makes beautiful things, but in the end the pain is jut to much
Plastic, yes I did write it, about half an hour ago.
Iron Monkey,It is grammatically normal to put a question mark after a question.

Hi Peter , I Loved it especially the part that u wrote about pine tree .. it's a wisdom what did you say that devil makes things in our eyes beautiful to approache even if it's forbidden and if we approached we will be in pain ... It's really awesome of you to express it with that way :)
Keep going :)))))

This is an interesting sequence of ideas, written in a compelling way.
I'm not 100% certain that you can convincingly equate the pine tree with the devil, as that particular tree has many other connotations in mythology and literature.
If you don't mind one or two suggestions (made with the best of motives) I would aim for some regularity in the metre. The number of syllables in each line varies considerably, without any obvious reason for the variation. And there seems to be no reason for the near-rhyme of "falter" (unless the willow's name is "Walter").
Also, the grammar of "churches praising song" is unclear. Is "praising" a an adjective or a verb? If a verb, doesn't it need "with" before "song"?
I would suggest that you have the sketch of a fine poem here. To perfect it, some work needs to be done.

I liked your poem. I thought a professional writer had written until you told us you wrote it in just 30 minutes. I like trees especially the oak. It's big around and tall and blocks the wind. It's very windy where I live.
I liked an analogy of all three trees.
Good job!!!

I quite liked that. Too many question marks, though.
