Rain Water
The unpainted house with a tin roof
Which leaked when it rained_well it poured
It's known tin is tin and not rustproof
Although rain on the roof played chords
The rain still with a tin roof_well it poured
That music on the tin roof pattered
Lulling to sleep the occupants
Whose dreams during rain were splattered
Like splashing rain upon floors patterned
When it rained, the occupants were splattered
Spirits not dampened, entwined in love's strong chord
Even when the rain pitter-pattered
Warmth and love the home still could afford
That family remembers even though scattered
Entwined in love's strong chord even though scattered
