Umbrella (May, Myself and I – Day 9)

I guess we'd all like to think that if a friend needed shelter from the rain, they would come and stand under our umbrella, if we offered it to them. But they might know someone with a bigger, brighter umbrella and find better shelter over there. My old umbrella was a bit faulty, I would …
