Poetry Thursday


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.

    They look so happy - you've done something right!
