“GRATEFUL”nI don’t want changenI just want yesterdaynBut yesterday is yesterdaynShe was my best friendnThought from beginning to the endnBy now she’s in a different landnHer journey complete, she helped me understandnnI guess I’ve realizednThings change but we still go onnIn my life, I’m alivenSeems strange, but I’m grateful for my daysnI’m grateful for my daysnnWhy did it end?nSo suddenly, or did I pretend?nThat everything with Mom and Dad was finenSometimes we ignore the most obvious signsnTogether forevernA love so strong that nothing could severnBut blindness will preclude the sadnI see now that good can sometimes come from badnnI guess I’ve realizednThings change but we still go onnIn my life, I’m alivenSeems strange, but I’m grateful for my daysnI’m grateful for my daysnnCopyright 2000 Beau Phillips
