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