Only You and Me	Too Cool
I waited for you With anticipatory breath, Bated so as not to seem Too wild, for 41 1/2 weeks. Then suddenly you were upon us. Your head. I remember your Papa Saying, "stand up!" As if to greet you properly. Then your little slippery body Into my hands. A dull echo of voices Somewhere far away. Head spinning, You looked so small Yet too big to have Come from me. Your hair, Your fingers, Your nose and ears. Yourself. In that moment It was Only you and me In the world. ~M	We finally figured out what to do to protect SJ’s eyes from the sun.  At least now he will open them when we go outside and it is sunny. ~A
