My Children
You both…
brought joy in our hearts
beyond human comprehension,
painted a smile on our face
that of which could reach our eyes;
mounted happiness into our system
that couldn’t be leveled-off
rang laughter in our ears
so closely that of angels
stretched a colorful hue in our world
surpassing Van Gogh’s work of art;
stole hopelessness within us
and transformed our perspective to optimism,
grabbed the selfishness in our souls
recuperating the damaged fiber of our faith,
tied the tormenting past where it has to be
delivering us to a renewed course,
relived the child in us
forgiving… withholding nothing… loving…
And that is what we have to be…
a prepared father…
a prepared mother…
responsible for the days to come
Because you, our children are gifts from God
our most precious blessing…
for you both have opened the best in us
as we would try to bring out the best in you
journeying together in faith…
and in love…
