Any mother of twins, whatever their age, will remember these years.

Twins

There are two to wash, two to dry
Two who argue and two who cry
One's in the mud, having a ball
The other holds a crayon, marking the wall
Some days seem endless
My patience grows thin
Why was I chosen to be a mother of twins?
The answer comes clear at the end of the day
As I tuck them in bed and to myself say,
"There's two to kiss and two to hug
And best of all~there's two to love!"

It seems like just
a little while ago
you raised your tiny head
and smiled at me
for the first time
and I smiled back with tears
I loved you so much then
Though you are older now
living your dreams
pursuing your own goals
I still look at your beautiful smile
to know that things are all right with you
and I am so very proud of you
and I love you even more now

To see you happy
laughing and joking
smiling and content
striving towards goals of your own
accomplishing what you set out to do
having fun by yourself and with your friends
capable of loving and being loved
is what I always wished for you.
Today I thought about your handsome face
and felt your excitement for life
and your genuine happiness
and I burst with pride
as I realized that my dreams for you came true
What an extraordinary person you have become
and as you continue to grow
please remember always
how very much
I love you.
