Notes About The Poem

Umbrella

Love is our umbrella, shelter from storm A gift from God that keeps us safe and warm.
Quote - Poet’s own
Love is an umbrella just made for two Love brings only rainbows and skies of blue Smiling when days are dull, gloomy and grey Soothing all troubles and sorrows away. Please come and share my umbrella with me To me you're adorable as can be Entwined hearts melt into one, where there’s love Together we’ll weather storms from above. Me for you, you for me would be wholesome Together we would never be lonesome Sharing a home, a cosy nest for two Singing and dancing in rain all life through. I wish you rainbows and freedom from pain Shelter for always in downpours of rain To shower you with love and endless mirth That's what I offer for each day on earth. Facing this world, both of us together Making sweet music, lasting forever Blissfully joyful I’m sure we would be If only you would happily agree. Until my dream within a dream comes true And you say that you truly love me too I'll be standing and waiting patiently With my umbrella for two faithfully.
