A Love Shanty Poem by Matthew Holloway

I was going to say I love you
And then an angel cried
I thought I would leave it for another day
Now I remember yesterday
As the day tomorrow never came
And I never got the chance to say
I love in the rain
~
Can you bring the sun out
If only for a hour or two
Let the clouds break away
I would kneel before you
Take your hand and say
What I never got the chance to say
I love you and I love the rain
~
It falls to feed the earth
And wash dust away
Nothing is left to be forgotten
Nothing is left to yesterday
Although tomorrow may never come
And the rain got in my way
I want to take my time
And say, I love you
