Through yesterday's window,
.........I still see my Mama....
When I was a kid then,
.......of seven or eight !
Life was the game,
.......and we were the players....
In a time when tomorrow's,
......dreams had to wait!
Looking, I see,
.....a mother who loved us....
Gave all she had,
.....in raising us well !
In sickness with prayer,
.....in good times with laughter....
Still we all have,
.....those mem'ries to tell !
So, yes I'll return,
.....ever so often...
Taking a portion,
.....of magic and time !
Once more seeing Mom,
.....through yesterday's window...
For sharing that love,
.....is a mem'ry of mine !
