This is the story of our triplet. We all grew side by side and chin to chin.
We jiggled and wriggled inside mom’s tum,
You were peaceful, the quieter one.
We couldn’t wait to be set free, but you had other plans, you see.
You were an angel, not meant for earth, but sent to keep us safe till birth.
And when we had grown big and strong, it was time for you to move along.
You 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.
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.
