Doubly Blessed

Each of her arms held a bundle of joy.
One a little girl, the other a big boy.

Oooh, twins mean twice the nice.

Lots of sugar mixed with spice.
A doubled gift from above.

That's two times the love.
Imagine the hugs!


One moment they're tiny wonders all wrinkly and pink.
Next they're toddlers clanging pots on the floor near her sink.
Kindergarten comes and they shoo their Mama away.
She blinks back tears on her babies' independence day.

Amanda proudly watches Adam and Mackenzie grow.
Looks at a calendar and what do you know.......
Her heart flips as she looks towards heaven.
Then she exclaims, "My gosh the twins are seven!
They have to have a party, it just can't wait.
Why in twelve short months they'll be eight!"

Author notes

Happy Birthday you guys! Have a fun filled day.
Mandi, treasure these years because before you know it
you'll have a mother's worst nightmare.....TEENAGERS!
Seriously, enjoy your blessings for that is what they truly are.
