The Girl

Location

The girl who lived in yesterday
Now wishes time had never strayed
"Don't lie" is what she was always told
She'll remember that until she grows old.

The girl who is making the most of today
Is always busy, has no time to play.
Priorities are all she knows;
School has caused her plenty of woes.

Then there's the girl who hopes for the future
Powered by all who've had so much to teach her.
She's excited to see what tomorrow will bring-
First college, then law school; a diamond ring?

The wishes, the hopes, and the most of today,
All come together in one special way.
The girl takes her days one at a time.
It seems to be working out just fine.
