I saw a bird,
Yesterday I didn't pause,
Today I stopped to hear it sing.
I saw the clouds,
Yesterday I raked the grass,
Today I looked for shapes.
My child tugged at me,
Yesterday I said what,
Today I sat and played.
I saw the sunset,
Yesterday I washed the dishes,
Today I sat and watched.
I saw a rose,
Yesterday I pulled the weeds,
Today I stopped to smell.
A friend passed by,
Yesterday I paused to wave,
Today I asked her in for tea.
I got a phone call,
Yesterday my best friend said,
Today she was coming over.
She told me,
Today is tomorrows'
Yesterday, and you forgot to live.
