When I look at the two of you it is apparent

(at least to me)

that one of you is looking forward and

one is looking back.

The one that is outgoing and gregarious

looks hopefully to the uncertainty of the future and

the one that is introverted and retrospective

looks longingly for the comfort of the past.

At eight I look forward to seeing the

type of adult you will turn into

(twenty years from now)

And at eleven I often wonder what

type of adult you would have been

(twenty years ago).

The lead-by-example stargazer and

the take-it-all-in old soul

and what is funny is that although you seem to have

a grasp on these eras

neither of you has been there

(yet).
