Cherrios and Lucky Charms
Babies sleeping in my arms
Now I lay me's down to sleep
Within my heart the memories deep
Wasn't it all just yesterday
Both now grown and on their way
Joyous tears on wedding days
A daughter's face so much like mine
A son's loving heart our smiles to find
My children of just yesterday
Time is such a mysterious thing
You just never know what it will bring
Laughter ... joy ... tears ... and fears
Within a day now past and a future near
The clock is striking in the hall
Its echo heard within the walls
Of a heart that wonders of the sun
After all the evenings songs are sung
Another day is drawing to an end
Evening songs soon to begin
To bring my day of what now is past
Into memories made and shadows cast
As I reflect upon my life
Within the quiet of the night
I see far more joys than tearful woes
In what seems now my long ago
An older image now is cast
Upon a smokey looking glass
I focus now on what is my today
Letting my tomorrow's find their way
