We were once. I was once a child, WHo used to laugh and play, But that is no longer me, Today is not like yesterday. YOu were once a baby, Who in a crib cried, But soon you got to old too fast, And you had to die. My cat was once a kitten, Who liked to play around, My kitten is now a cat, Burried under ground. My dog was once a puppy, Who always loved to play, My puppy grew too quickly, and had to go away. We were once a family, who never could go wrong, But no more are we a fimily, For everyone is gone.
