I WAS ME
First I was me, Selfish as can be, Wanting everything from A to Z And wanting it all for me.
Then I became we, A part of an us. I learned to share, give and take I learned how to trust.
Next I was you, Believe me it's true. I would rather give than receive, It was you I wanted to please.
Now I am them, A family man. Giving my children, All that I can.
If you look real close, It is easy to see, I am older and wiser, And no longer a me.

Estella and Holden
A boy and a girl just arrived in this world
To parents they both will share
Now from the house within will echo the cry of twins
As an answer to prayers from everywhere
After passing the test of a month of bed-rest
To ensure that they developed complete
For Mom and for Dad, no more rest to be had
As in tandem twins seldom do sleep
But living this way is a small price to pay
For the privilege of parenting twins
For only a special few have the bond of these two
Sharing the womb in which life did begin
Congratulations to my daughter and the man that they'll call father
For doubling up on our number of grandkids
We are so very proud that our voices shout out loud
With the love we feel for this thing you did
