Was your Grandma wise too?

 

(A lone voice whispers)

One day, 

The rain will stop

People won't judge what you got 

One day,

The pain will stop

No more gossiping from the rooftops

One day,

All that will remain 

Is the peace you got

For the start of true love is an inside job

All these things 

My Grandma once said

Along with

Be you 

Like a raindrop in a desert

People will either love you or won't be able to find you

But it won't matter

What will matter is

You'll be a raindrop in a desert for just someone special 

And on that day

When it comes

Just keep praying 

The rain will stop

People won't matter if they judge what you don't got 

On that day,

The pain will stop

You'll stop hearing gossiping from the rooftops

And on that special day

All that will remain 

Is the peace you share

With someone who cares

For true love can start with just a single raindrop

Like finding your favourite book of poetry 

In a second hand shop
