This photo of both my children is an old favourite of mine, taken some years ago.
My Children
Light in their eyes, matching smiles,
laughter in their eyes, matching wiles.
Heads together, different sizes,
so alike, no surprises.
Wrapped around their little fingers,
tough love is hard to do.

Short but effective, especially ending with the sentiment you chose...
