For as small as you both were, we all felt more than blessed.
Ten fingers and toes, long legs and arms
We all only wished to keep you far from harm.
The overwhelming amount of love sent your way each and every day
Left your Mommy and Daddy, literally, with nothing to say.
Flowers, cards, and gifts filled their vacant home
They were at the hospital so you wouldn't be fighting alone.
One small milestone reached sends the phone calls a-blazing
Everyone wanting to know the progress you two were making, it's just so amazing.
Your Mom does her best to keep your bellies nice and full
While your Dad goes to work and tries his best to keep his cool.
We all want to do more...just to help
For some reason though, these were just the cards which were dealt.
Our only wish is to see you two home, no matter the wait
Fast asleep in your cribs as if it were fate.
Love, Aunt Rachel
Tenley Joy
