Under Our Blue Umbrella

Under our blue umbrella we shelter from the rain,

It pours down woes aplenty and

Burdens us with blame,

We take on board the accusations, trouble and the strife,

After all it’s why we’re here, our belly full of life.

Then all at once, out of the spinning wheel of fortune,

We’re flung into the frame.

We’ve both had pain and suffering

And think that we’re to blame.

All too soon it’s out of hand

As we set out together.

It’s full ahead towards the light,

Things never did look better.

We helter-skelter down the route

And try to do our best

Imagining the worst results if we should

Fail this test.

So carry on enjoy yourself while speeding down the slide

Toss back your head let out a yelp,

You only get one ride!

◄ Some said time would heal the wounds of the past.

I like this - fast, imaginative, and only too true.
