seems like yesterday when all we did was play
and nothing seemed to matter much
but time passes by so quickly
and we don't even get a chance to go back


perhaps to appreciate the flowers blooming in the garden
perhaps to appreciate the people we've never given the time of day
perhaps to care more for others than ourselves
perhaps to respect other people's opinions more
perhaps to give value to our parents and family
perhaps to give more time to our loved ones


one day you'll just realize, it seems like yesterday
but i hope we won't regret the things we did or didn't do
and when all we can do is reflect upon it
may we find ourselves smiling as we remember...


perhaps the awkward moment you fell in love
perhaps the last time you gace a warm bear hug to your parents
perhaps the laughters shared with an old friend
perhaps the reminiscing of the wonderful years of growing up
perhaps the playful moments shared with your loved one
perhaps the simple sounds of nature that God gave as a gift


it seems like yesterday, but let's not forget the many tomorrows life can bring.
