Looking back

Looking out the window as tears fall from eyes
Reminiscing on the past and realizing how time flies
As I hold my head up high and try not to cry
I can’t stop thinking about how I didn’t get to say bye

It seemed like just yesterday I was so young
Just a little girl playing and staring up at the sun
Having fun as soon as the day begun
My only worries in the world being about biting my tongue

Soon I grew more and learned new things
As I started to realize how much joy life brings
Life was so peaceful, learning new ways to think
Never knowing that this world my mom would one day leave

As time went on I became more mature,
Experiencing life lessons which I was sometimes unsure
About how the outcomes would be but still I went forward
Cause I was always willing to learn so much more
Wanting doors to open so I could get to the core
Yearning for knowledge which was coming from the Lord

My present days now seem to be so cold
Knowing i'm surrounded by love ones but still feeling alone
Cause the one I loved so much is now gone
It’s only been four months but it feels so long
And i’m constantly being reminded how life goes on
Not skipping a beat as if nothing went wrong

But all I can do now is think back on the past
And pray each day I live doesn’t go by too fast
As I continue to go on doing my daily task
Living each day as though it were my last
