I captured my life in a raindrop
Viewing the earlier years
Happiness when I was a young child
Perhaps edged with infantile tears
The lovers I had in my teen years
I'll admit that there were quite a few
Such a joy just to hold and caress them
Memories to savour all my life through
Now that I am in my dotage
Watching the raindrops whilst I reminisce
Recalling the days of my childhood
Recounting on all that I miss
It could be the rain in my eyes
Though more likely a teardrop or two
I care not who sees me crying
My childhood I'm crying for you
