I will see
S.C.Jones
Yesterday I saw a small child cry
..I saw an old man's fear
..I saw anguish and despair
Yesterday I saw an empty sadness.
Yesterday I was young, I was bold
..I saw what I might achieve
..I gave my all for glory
Yesterday I was wise, I was all knowing.
Today I saw a small child laugh
..I saw an old man's delight
..I saw hope and renewal
Today I saw unbounded gladness.
Today I am old, I am at peace
..I saw what We might achieve
..I gave my all for You
Today I am wiser, I am growing.
Were I to trade all my Tomorrows for these Yesterdays
I could never change what was, nor would I try
For I see now that all my Yesterdays were
but the sum total for my Todays.
....I will accept Today.
I will see a small child laugh
..I will see an old man's delight
..I will see hope, I will see renewal
Today I will see with unbound gladness.
