The Day Before
I've been here a long time
All these wasting years
Childhood begins to wear
A smile bearing tears
It's a treasure they all said
To be young and getting old
So I thought fondly of the future
In a mortal human mold
I became the person that I wanted
I ignored everything I heard
My ignorant bliss was undaunted
Until I learned forbidden word
When people speak in funny tripe
There's something behind it all
Meanings where there wasn't one begin to evolve
And on the eve of that telling day
The one where angels sings
And where trumpets sound
Just then, we'll all pray
Dear God, forgive me of my sins
I forgot this day
would come
Amen
