Twins

Twins, a poem from Painted by Rain

She said, ‘I thought you had

A daughter?!! You don’t?

I was sure you had a daughter. . .’

And I looked down, I couldn’t say.

Words held tight

Kept from tumbling out

She must have known. . .

Long ago twin candles bright

The greatest joy to hold

My baby in arms, so beautiful boy

And then quiet tears of sorrow

For what I didn’t know I had

An Angel and baby born

Longer still, we thought had lost

And I rested. . .

With gratitude all was well

But what I didn’t know

An angel. . .

My daughter gone before

I even knew her gift. . .

An Angel

And baby born

In Love & Sorrow, I dedicate this Volume to my baby lost
