You have brought into this world
two blessings which I adore.
You and them together
combine to be so much more.

They are extensions of your soul
and emulate your heart.
Although separate and distinct
they will never be apart.

Your blood flows through their veins
giving them life, for them to see
You influence there every action
trying to maintain harmony

Among their triumphs in life
and their victories every day.
You will always be their compass
to guide them along the way.

You give your heart and soul
in the hope that it will fill
their fragile tender lives
with the strength and the will.

The will to make right decisions
and the strength to follow them through.
Hoping they will take your guidance
and know just what to do.

You do this every day
not asking anything in return.
Hoping, one day they will achieve
the respect and love they earned.
