ROBERTA (My darling twin daughter, when she was 12 yrs old) <br /> <br />Radiant and sweeter than all that grows <br />O wond’rous daughter, my heart's rose <br />Beauty within you shines so bright <br />Each smile is your dad's delight: <br />Roberta, you have gifts and talents all your own <br />To dazzle the world where’er you roam; <br />A hug and love will welcome you home. <br /> <br />LAKEN (my darling twin daughter,12) <br /> <br />Lovely and gentle, sweet as the breeze <br />An angel of light, happy to please: <br />Kindly her heart, clever her mind <br />Eager to learn, keen to find <br />No one will fool this wonderful child. <br /> <br />SCOTT (My diamond boy 7) <br /> <br />So charming a jewel, so brave a wee lad <br />Carries the name and the pride of his Dad: <br />Others will envy him, some will admire <br />The wit and brains he takes from his Sire! ! <br />Taller and tougher he’s got – don’t mess with SCOTT! ! !<br /><br />Patrick Scott Hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/acrostic-on-roberta-laken-and-scott-my-darling-children/
