birth to graduation...

in a short

eighteen

years...

.

...sarah and i went

to a graduation party today

for a young man

we've had the pleasure

of knowing

since birth

as i was creating this card

in his school colors

i couldn't help

but remember

that just yesterday

or so it seems

we were hosting a baby shower

for his parents

on our deck

one beautiful spring evening

back in

nineteen ninety three

it's funny

 how we all look a little older

on the outside

yet inside

little seems to change

our friendship

carries from year to year

perhaps we are a bit wiser

definitely

 grateful for our time

together
