Today is brought to you by the letter “Y”…
(And I beg forgiveness from the Beatles…)
Please sing along with me today, won’t you?
**********************************
Yesterday...
I could run and laugh and I could play-
Now I'm thick and soft and turning gray-
Oh, where the heck is Yesterday?
Suddenly,
I am twice the gal I used to be-
and there are wrinkles hanging over me-
Oh, how'd I change so suddenly?
Why I
had to grow- I don't know-
I'm not that wise-
I did something wrong, now I long
for thinner thighs.
Yesterday.
I was firm and set like hardened clay-
Now it really sucks to feel this way-
Oh, please come back, my yesterday!
How I
got so old, no one's told- they didn't say-
I wonder why -and now I cry
for Yesterday…
Yesterday,
I smelled like flowers, bright and gay-
Now it's beans and sauerkraut and hay! :(
Oh, where the heck is Yesterday?
Yesterday,
I could hear and see and dance away-
Now I'm bent and blind and... “What'd you say?"
Oh, how it sucks to feel this way...
Yesterday,
There were no chin hairs in my way
Or those flashes- (hot as Bobby Flay)-
Oh, how did I lose my Yesterday?
Yet,
I know days will go-And I, with them-
So I'll stay- But I will pray
For yesterday…a.a.a....
...yesterday.

All I can say about getting older is.......
HELP! I need somebody...HELP! Not just anybody!
I love your thoughts of Yesterday, Rae...almost as much as Linda's HELP! I'm of that certain age...I identify with both SO much! Happy Friday. Can't wait to see ZZzzzz...
