caring for the
people

as if they

His Funeral

MULTICOLORED umbrellas
marching the black road
towards his final resting place
this is his funeral
people cross the bridge
of the blue river
the day is bright
and the grief is light

He must have
IF he were still alive
Disliked it
He wants black umbrellas all along
Black suits
Blue flowers
A rainy day
He wants his departure to be sad
He has many unfinished business
Too may sins still
Without the penance.

In The City....

in the city
the black mushrooms of umbrellas
bloom

the rains fall heavily

the sewage canals begin to sing

He wants his departure to be sad
He has many unfinished businesses
Too many sins still
Unforgiven

Spiritual umbrellas
For rainy and sunny days
A shield at ready
From the vagaries of life
And excesses of success

On this rainy day
A girl with an umbrella
Is walking slowly

Don't open your umbrella,
Rain might stop!

Umbrella Song

On the poor side of town, lives a girl no one knows
With her worn out shoes and her ragged clothes
Her mother tries to provide since her father has died
But no one even cares if shes alive
And when the rain comes down
Shes never getting wet
And though the skies are gray
Shell still be smiling yet
Cause in her eyes theres no teardrops
In her heart theres no pain
Shes got her love as an umbrella from the rain
Oh, what love is an umbrella from the rain
On the rich side of town, lives a boy no one knows
With his shiny shoes and his fancy clothes
Hes got everything he needs if he wants to succeed
But no one even cares if hes alive
And when the rain comes down
Hes never getting wet
And though the skies are gray
Hell still be smiling yet

When Fishes Set Umbrellas Up

When fishes set umbrellas up
If the rain-drops run,
Lizards will want their parasols
To shade them from the sun.

Rain

The rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.

On my umbrella

Umbrella

Today is the day you will shine.
There will be a little rain though,
But don't worry I will protect you by being your umbrella.

No go off and light up the world.
Always remember, I am only one click away from being your cover,
Like an umbrella.

My Umbrella

With the gray clouds
Forming, I grab my umbrella
I have no idea
About how bad it will be
If it will be drizzing
Or if it will be pouring
Whatever the case maybe
I have my umbrella with me
Rain, sleet, snow, or shine
I know that I will be fine
That's how I feel
About our Lord
He's my umbrella
He is right above my head
He protects me
During anytime
Or kind of weather
So even if I get
A little wet
I know God will protect

Golden Crown

Forty words:

Umbrella weather damp and cold
Mr. Sun has gone on hold.
Drip-drip-drip from every tree,
Roaring thunder constantly.

July is usually fair of face
Umbrella weather has no place.
Floral perfume drifts around
~~Mr. Sun wears the crown~~
