Umbrella

A gentle rain fell ever so slightly down upon me..
But I felt no need for an umbrella,.
And so continued to
Walk slowly...until..
A heavier rain,
Suddenly appeared..
So I picked up my pace,
Before it could muss my hair..
And then suddenly a steady rain, fell
My steps quickened,
As a sudden chill.
filled the air...
And all at once it became a downpour,.
And then and only then,
did I contemplate seeking shelter from the rain and wind,
I tried to be strong do it all on my own,..
But I was still so far from home,

Sometimes it's not easy to admit
That we can't do it all alone..
Sometimes we all need an umbrella ,
To shelter us,
as we struggle to find our way home.
Sometimes, we all need
an umbrella..
