Notes About The Poem

Two Boys

Whether this is your first or second child
your life changes for more than a while

The happiness of the first was beyond measure
the second adds to this with more to treasure.

You walked hand and hand with your first
your second child is also going to thirst.

One will have a new life as a big brother
almost as important as dad and mother.

Before you know the time will come
they will be sharing each other's gum

We are so excited that you have two boys
I bet you can wait until they fight over toys
