THE RAIN AT NIGHT

 H. W. Bryce

 

The rain at night

                Falls upon my patio

The pitter-patter

                Raindrop music notes

They sing their melody

                To match the melancholy

Of the blue mood

                You left me in

When you said goodnight

                And left me here all alone

 

But I don’t mind

                The night is sweet

You kissed my lips

                The mood so neat

I dream of you

                You said you cared

The feeling was just right

                The future looks so bright

 

Oh I day dream

                You are the cream

In the coffee of my life

No bitter grounds

Left in the cup o f life

                Nothing but love I’ve found

 

So here’s to you

                I swear my oath

Forever love

                To you I’m true

 

Raindrop melody playing on my patio

Each pitter-patter drop a memory

Of you, the sweetest person that I know

Oh how I wish that you were still here with me

 

The rain at night

                Falls upon my patio

The pitter-patter

                Raindrop music notes

They sing their melody

                And troubles matter not

The rain at night reminds me that

                You are the cream

In the coffee of my life

No bitter grounds

Left in the cup of life

                Nothing but love I’ve found.

 

–Happy Birthday to you dearest Ann “Beyond the Sunset”

 

Fifty Years together, three years, eight months since.

Thanks for the memories Ann. Never forgotten.

 

Listen to the song Ivan Boudreau wrote from my poem Beyond the Sunset, and sang at our Celebration of Ann’s Life. https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/QgrcJHsBpVtcBbMFFzPnQMSZLqHvdLtHrFq
