Madeleine and Lucas Turn 1! / Twins: A Poem March 6, 2016

Birthday

Twins

How could it happen again?

We just had sex and now there is 2

More that is

The birth wouldn’t arrive

I’ll never forget walking your mom in the hallways

Beauty is often slow to begin

Lucas came fast

I loved you from the moment I looked into your eyes

You were a one of a kind surprise

Madeleine delayed

Mom lost blood and scared me to no end

You arrived in the operating room

For a moment I was worried about picking out a tomb

My first girl

How could it be?

I never thought God would be so kind to me

Now here we are

One year later we are still pressing on

You talk

You crawl

You sing

You dance

You smile

Oh how I love your smiles

They will carry us more than a million miles

Our love has multiplied and will forevermore

Happy Birthday

Magic is what the future has in store
