Yesterday Child Poem by Margaret Kollmer
Yesterday Child
Oh wow, Johnny boy -
My yesterday child
Standing tall in army browns
and newly-winged beret
I wanted to rush up and hug you
right there and then
in front of the Brigadier
your buddies
and a million denim-eyed troops.
But I knew you wouldn't approve
so I just pocketed my hands
and buried the threads of my smile
in your boots
and carefully laced them
in taut military style:
with no ends exposed.
