Yesterday
It seems like only moments ago
She was on my knee ~
Or had her head upon my neck
Singing tenderly;
When love had seemed so safe ~ so warm;
No thoughts at all dismayed,
But I remember ~ in regret ~
That was yesterday.
When her face was warm with fever,
No comfort could we find,
Then she crawled upon my lap ~
We sang a long, long time.
I looked to see her fast asleep, but
"Sing more!" is what I heard.
The tender and the humorous ~
She learned every word.
It won’t be long, and she’ll be back;
Playing at my knee;
Tending potted plants and busy
With her young life’s " busy bee".
I’ll not take for granted
Her presence through the day,
I’ll hold those precious ~ (things to add) ~
To my "Yesterdays".
