The fires of Spring brought you my child <br />My heart was yours when you first smiled <br />To see you and hold you in my arms <br />I was spellbound within your charms: <br />Each of us is a flame aglow <br />Different as every flake of snow <br /> <br />O turn around and you will see <br />I am you and you are me <br />Your eyes like rivers I cannot trace <br />Each child is the human race <br /> <br />Life is a gift renewed each day <br />Cherish each moment, as you find your way <br />The stars they sparkle in your eyes <br />I know one day you’ll realize <br />That beauty is truth, what e’er the cost <br />Honesty’s reward is never lost: <br /> <br />Run thru Autumn’s woods of gold <br />Cherish winter’s snowdrops cold <br />Dance in Spring, your heart anew <br />Summer will bring its love to you <br />Weather life’s storms and survive <br />May your glory in being alive <br /> <br />O my dear girls, what can I say <br />Each river runs its own way <br />Love your sister and brother too <br />And they’ll return their love to you <br />When I fall like Autumn’s leaf – (remember) <br />Love’s forever, but life is brief.<br /><br />Patrick Scott Hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/laken-s-and-roberta-s-song-for-the-author-s-twin-daughters/
