Two and Six

When two little girls look up at me

it can remind me how good life can be                                                                                                                                                                                             and when I hear their voices in play

I love the funny things, they often say.

They can be happy and sometimes sad

they can be good and they can be bad

and when they smile and ask me to play

how can I not, do what they say?

One of them is six, the other one is two

without them in my life, what would I do

and if they are sad, I wipe away their tears

ready to comfort them and take away their fears.

 

I hope they will love life’s simple pleasures

the stars, the sea, and all nature’s treasures

and know they are loved by you and by me

always in our hearts wherever they may be.

I wish them success in whatever they do

I wish them happiness all their lives through

and I wish them in life all that is good

but most of all, I wish them love.
