Today and Yesterday

by Lucy M. Young

'Twas only yesterday, it seems,
He brought me dandelions, buttercups, and daisies -
Short stems clutched tightly in his chubby, little hand.

So many years have passed since yesterday -
But a bit of that small boy still remains;
Today he brought me one small perfect flower.
I pressed it in my Bible.
