May Yesterday
May yesterday be kinder
Let is shelter her and show her how to play
May today remind her
How dewdrops gleam in morning’s rosy rays
Though yesterday’s behind her
A million memories colored gold and gray
May tomorrow find her
Glowing like this bright blue day in May
May yesterday be kinder
Let it lead her back through fields where grasses sway
May today remind her
Of a greater love that cannot fade away
Though yesterday’s behind her
A tired friend with nothing more to say
May tomorrow find her
Glowing like those bright blue days in May.
