Please help identify this small plant. I found several growing in an overgrown pollinator garden. It is very small, may have a yellow flower.

This looks like a type of Speedwell.  There many types, both annual and perennial varieties. We think we can just barely see one of the tiny blue flowers peeking out of the top of the plant in your photo. It might be Corn Speedwell, which is non-native but not invasive.
