Words with y
Listen and learn. 
Take a Look at Today
Everything around you, everything you see
Will soon be part of our history.
The dance you do.
The “look” that’s new.
The funny hair.
The clothes you wear.
The number one song on the latest Top Ten.
Everything will change and change again.
So, let the years go by,
Then you’ll say with a sigh,
“I remember when …!”
And “That’s how it was way back then!”
