My Babies
I hold you both close to me
Late at night
One on my left
The other on my right
Your breathing is even
Your heartbeat's are calm
While you both are asleep
I'm tracing over the curves
Of your palm's
And loving your closeness
And basking in love
Reveling in what motherhood
Is made of
Before I close my eyes
I pray for your happiness
I pray for your peace
I thank God again for you both
And only then do I fall asleep
