...from Itty-bitty Now, the Then

It matters more than we may think

Those things we think and do and say

Are never ‘nothings’; everything

Becomes a bit of yesterday

…and yesterday, though ever gone

Is never gone in full, its hull

Emptied of seed will suffer long

its consequences ; Time will cull

…from itty-bitty Now, the Then

Where what we think and do and say

Will bear the fruit we planted when

We tossed it thoughtlessly away
