Yesterday's Life,

Sad, Grief, Sympathy, Broken Heart

You threw me awayIn a dustbin to die

To friends and relativesYou gave them a lie

The child that was bornDid not even cry

As I struggled at nightTo see my first dawn.

Wrinkles and grey hairThat one you could hide

This too could be your truthThat you've never been a mother

But one day you shall haveNo energy to dance

One day you shall haveNo voice to sing

One day you shall haveNo lies to tell

As sickness and weaknessTaketh you miles to childhood
