POEMS TO MY BABIES
I didn't give you the gift of life,
but in my heart I know the love I feel
is deep and real as if it had been so.
For us to have each other is like a
dream come true!
No I didn't give you the gift of life,
life gave me the gift of you.
~Author Unknown
__________________________
Not of my flesh,
nor bone of my bone.
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
you didn't grow under my heart- but in it.
~Fluer Heylinger
