Little Girl Of Yesterday
She rises every now and then
though her heart is filled with sorrow.
With memories of way back when
and tears saved for tomorrow.
She thinks about the used to bes,
and dreams that don't come true.
Times she prayed down on her knees
and things life put her through.
The broken hearts and brand new starts
the friends that came and went.
People that all played their parts
precious moments that she spent.
She's looking in the mirror
at the lines etched in her face.
Time grows ever nearer
she's relying on Gods grace.
To see her through the things undone
and life that's left to live.
To teach her when to walk or run
and help her to forgive.
That little girl of yesterday
things aren't like things before.
The little girl has gone away
she doesn't live here anymore.
Still she rises every now and then
though her heart is filled with sorrow.
With memories of way back when
and tears saved for tomorrow.
