Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Yesterday, I was just a small child
Sitting alone in my room…
Playing with my dolls and laughing
There were no responsibilities for me to assume…
Next, I was a teenager
With problems of my own…
Like which clothes should I wear?
I’m always on the phone…
Today, I have my own small child
Who reminds me of my yesterday…
I’m teaching her to love
And to live and to play…
Next, I will be a grandmother
And by then the world will have changed…
I will treasure my memories
And note that lots of things will have become re-arranged…
Tomorrow, I will be old and gray
As I think of all the days of my past…
I’ll remember all of my yesterdays
As my memories will begin to fade so fast…
Next, the time will come for me to go
And I’ll know that all of days will have been worthwhile…
As I close my eyes for the last time, I’ll always know
That I’m leaving this world with my yesterdays and a smile…
