Listen to poem:

Better Days by Jerry Botherton and Jerry Curtis A Collaboration

By Jerry B & Jerry C
We must forget the past and work
together for a brighter morn.
Let hatred die with the old year,
and let our future now be born.

I may be old, but not forgetful
I let things just fade away
Learning not to be regretful
Rising toward a better day

So Looking at this future
That lies in front of us
Escaping from last year
And shaking off it's dust

Chorus
So, let us touch our glasses, together in a toast to better ways.
Here’s to your prosperity my friends, may life bring you better days.

Instrumental

I may be old, but not forgetful
Letting thing just fade away
Learning not to be regretful
Rising toward a better day

So Looking at this future
That lies in front of us
Escaping from last year
And shaking off it's dust


Chorus
So, let us touch our glasses, together in a toast to better ways.
Here’s to your prosperity my friends, may life bring you better days.

Better Days

Ahhhhhh Better Days
