Rain sings on the zinc roof <br />Unlike barking dog: Woof! Woof! Woof! <br />Like warm hug and mother’s pat <br />It whispers in my ears: Pat! Pat! Pat! <br /> <br />Rain sings on the zinc roof <br />Unforgettable memory, I am living proof <br />Sat together on the mengkuang mat <br />Boiled tapioca was all we had. <br /> <br />Rain sings on the zinc roof <br />Shut barking dog: Woof! Woof! Woof! <br />Back in the yesteryears I am at <br />Listening to the rain: Pat! Pat! Pat!<br /><br />Ibnu Din Assingkiri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/singing-rain/
