May Day by Michelle Leigh
May Day
‘ She thought he’d really loved her
In her heart a light had shone
But sadly not the case to be,
for soon she’d learnt he’d gone.
She thought what did I do so wrong
Oh my, what a mistake!
My friends were right all along
I should’ve stayed home eating cake.
The tears they flowed upon her
whatever they would say
She felt that she was drowning
And could only whisper ‘Help, May Day!’.
But life will soon get better
as Winter turns to Spring
And May Day’s meaning changes
to the good things life can bring.
So next time when you’re floundering
and don‘t know what to say,
Just stand up tall, be brave and sing
out loud ‘Yay! It’s May Day!’
