thinking of....

Umbrella child

Sheltered, cosseted, protected.
Under the neon yellow umbrella,
Shielded from stinging rain,
Shunned from those threatening streaks of lightning
Cloistered - seems like an eternity.

Life's never easy.
Rainstorms never end.
Lightning may not cease.
Without that sturdy yellow companion,
Survival is the question.

So don't throw it away
And exchange it for those modern lightweight ones.
It has seen you through your childhood;
Blue skies and thunder
It was your pillar once upon a time.

As the years gradually slip by,
Its canvas grows worn and weary.
Something you don’t want to be seen with.
A pitiful benefactor,
Next to your posh Guccis

Then it was left all alone
Forgotten in a corner
Gathering mothballs on its once-shiny surface
No longer needed or of use
It was abandoned.
