Even In Tough Times

Even in tough times
By H

Sing to me softly
Like the pitter-patter of rain
Falling on our shanty roof
Falling once again

Whisper to me sweetly
Like the hush of falling snow
Clinging to our shivering bodies
Begging as we go

Laugh with my gaily
Like the birds of summer sing
For even in our misery
Joy to my life you bring

So, my darling, sing to me softly
like the pitter-patter of rain
But first let me fetch a bucket
Because the roof is leaking again

-End-
