This is the story of Pablo, Oscar and Leonardo, who grew side by side and chin to chin.
Pablo and Oscar jiggled and wriggled inside mom’s tum,
Leonardo was peaceful, the quieter one.
Pablo and Oscar couldn’t wait to be set free, but Leonardo had other plans, you see...
Leonardo was an angel, not meant for earth, but sent to keep Pablo and Oscar safe till birth.
And when Pablo and Oscar had grown big and strong, it was time for Leonardo to move along.
Leonardo whispered gently:
It’s OK to cry, Even though I cannot stay, I’ll still be with you every day.
The time has come for me to go, but I love you more than you'll ever know.
I am the brightest star in the night sky,
a butterfly flapping way up high.
I am the dancing summer breeze,
and the golden autumn leaves.
I am the sand that tickles your toes,
and the sun that kisses your nose.
I am the sparkle in your eye,
and the salty tears you cry.
I am the dimple in your cheek,
and your grubby little feet.
I am the soft curl of your hair,
and the depth of your twinkly-eyed stare.
I am the gurgle in your laughter,
I am ... your forever after.
Your triplet I’ll always be, For I am you and you are me.
So when you feel sad or just a bit blue, take a moment and think of me.
Look in the mirror and right on cue, I’ll be smiling back at you.
