“GRATEFUL”   I don’t want change   I just want yesterday   But yesterday is yesterday   She was my best friend   Thought from beginning to the end   By now she’s in a different land   Her journey complete, she helped me understand      I guess I’ve realized   Things change but we still go on   In my life, I’m alive   Seems strange, but I’m grateful for my days   I’m grateful for my days      Why did it end?   So suddenly, or did I pretend?   That everything with Mom and Dad was fine   Sometimes we ignore the most obvious signs   Together forever   A love so strong that nothing could sever   But blindness will preclude the sad   I see now that good can sometimes come from bad      I guess I’ve realized   Things change but we still go on   In my life, I’m alive   Seems strange, but I’m grateful for my days   I’m grateful for my days      Copyright 2000 Beau Phillips
