It was only yesterday, when you were small, <br />I used to hold you in my arms. <br />Now you're older and out of school! <br />Yes, it was only yesterday, <br />When I clothed you and fed you. <br />It was a joy watching you play. <br />I hope yesterday I was a good Mother, <br />So when yesterday passes and in the future you'll be a good Father. <br />May yesterday have good memories of how we played and did things together. <br />And the little talks that made things brighter. <br />Of course yesterday was hard and enduring. <br />The pains of growing up and the joys of our love we gave yesterday. <br />Happy graduation my son. <br />It was only yesterday.<br /><br />Sanda May Benlien<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-was-only-yesterday/
