Only Yesterday

It seems like only yesterday
I felt your fingers tiny grip.
You smiled and laughed and loved to play

Building blocks and modeling clay.
Attached as always to my hip
It seems like only yesterday.

I lost you in the shops one day
Into the dress rack you did slip.
You smiled and laughed and loved to play

You didn't really run away.
T'was such a frightful shopping trip.
It seems like only yesterday

You brought me breakfast on a tray
Flowers, toast, and coffee to sip
You smiled and laughed and loved to play.

But growing I cannot delay
These apron strings I have to snip.
It seems like only yesterday
You smiled and laughed and loved to play.
