birthday eve

These two little ones will be home for the weekend...

I remember how warm the sun was
   on the day this was taken
I still have the little white shoes he is wearing
   even after all these year
[and the little jeans and her pink overalls are in a box
    in the attic... still]

My niece wonders where the last 8 months have gone?!?!
   her baby unbelievably turns one in four months....
In what seems just one more blink of the eye
   he will be sitting for the GRE/entrance exam
   for grad school...

I know because just as unbelievably to me
   somehow tomorrow
   this little one born so long ago
   on a sunny Saturday morning
   turns 22 years old
