Songs of Yesterday

I dreamed a dream of the wishes I once made
Under the milky sky of the everlasting everglades
I heard a whispered promise spoken so long ago
A secret wish from a heart no one will ever know.

I listen and still hear the songs of yesterday
The laughter and love shared in every way
Voices of memories carry through the trees
Visions of life that flow with ease.

Never forgotten was sorrow shared
Bringing together all those who cared
Hard times were plenty but good times were more
No one knew next what fate had in store.

Through tears and laughter, through happy and sad
We all became one through good and bad
Living, loving, and learning together
Friends for life and friends forever.
