Yesterday

Back when yesterday was her tomorrow
Life seemed like a gentle breeze carrying her where it chose
The last thing she wanted was to put up a fight
she didn’t think she could win
Then suddenly she found herself asking the question
“If I don’t fight for what I believe in who will go to bat for me?”

When all her chips were down and
she had  no other choice she gathered all the strength God gave her
Knowing the first round would be hard to win but
she fought with all her might also knowing
she couldn’t afford to lose
so she came out swinging

Some people who knew her when
yesterday was her tomorrow said she’d never make it and
if by God’s good grace she did
Her future looked dark and grey
Well if you could see her now   
her future is brighter than you said it would be

No matter what, she will now and forever cherish her yesterdays  
for all the lessons they taught her
For all those who’ve had yesterdays you wish you could trade   
trust me today will be better and
tomorrow may be your best yet
