"GONE"

                  "Gone"

What if yesterday was tomorrow's , today?
All the wrong that happened, you would fix the right way.
The future would surely, always be bright.
Never living in fear, never living in fright.

You'd know what to say, and all the reply's,
never care if its wrong, never having to cry.
Never wish that you had, one more chance.
Because now you would have life, by the seat of your pants.

You wouldn't be timid, and never abused.
Never feel left out, you'd always feel good.
Smile everyday, because the sun always shined,
Never a doubt nor a cloud in the sky.

Friends and loved ones , would always be safe,
there would be no more funerals and no more graves.
We'd change all the things,we never got right,
and this time around, never lose sight.

But the sad truth is, that it's never that way.
Can't take back the bad things we say.
We don't know what tomorrow, will bring us today.
And yesterday's gone, just fleeting away.

So why not try, make the best each day,
the way you wish you could live today.
Be honest and real, and do what you say,
forget what tomorrow brings, just live the right way.

And start each day, by offering a prayer,
So God will help you, and always be there.
You know what I mean, and trying to say,
Its just making it happen that particular way.
