The twins are 26 months, 1 week, and 4 days old.
What a difference a year can make!
(1st poem- Poem for twin moms and twin moms to be. Through the years with twins….)
2 little lines to soon change your life,
1 bit of news makes you mom from wife;
2 little bottoms to diaper one by one,
Two bottles to warm and to clean when your done;
4 little legs never running the same way,
2 little people to love for always;
2 tiny bodies to dress head to bum,
1 takes their clothes off by the time you are done;
4 plump little cheeks to kiss goodnight,
2 beautiful smiles come the morning light;
2 sets of feet running through the halls,
2 boo boos to kiss when they run and they fall;
20 little fingers to wrap ’round your hands,
2 tiny people shouting out their demands;
2 sweet voices saying, ”Mom, I love you!”
2 innocent minds always thinking of you;
2 little lines have changed you, it’s true,
1 lifetime of happiness is now in store for you.

(This poem is written about my first child when I was only newly 19 and super scared. His life…our loss.)
Becoming a mom for the first time, cradled me in such unexpected love,
The circumstances seemed so impossible, but it was truly God’s gift from above.
I struggled and fought hard to make it, living only for smiles and hugs,
That little voice made everything worthwhile, and showed me unconditional love.
The years they passed and the challenges changed, I found out I needed to be strong,
Faith was shaken and then quickly shattered, I wondered if I’d ever move on.
17 years later I look back, and I’ve added more miracles to my world,
And I wonder if I’d be alive today, if it wasn’t for that 1st precious boy.
God had his plans all laid out for me, despite the heartache along the way,
I love each one of my angels, both on Earth and in heaven this Mother’s Day.
*************************************
On Mother’s Day we celebrate true, undying love,
The kind that only happens between mother, daughter, or son.
We reflect back on the memories, we collect along the way,
And smile knowing for always, that mom will be our name.

(Written for those mourning their only child today.)
Once upon a time there was a baby. But God said that its life was not to be,
So I buried within all the pain I felt, and denied myself the right to grieve.
Did it make me less of a mother, because my child was no longer here?
Was Mother’s Day going to hurt me bad, or was my sweet angel right here?
Whispering whispers from heaven’s gate. Sending a special message just for me,
Yes, you are still a mother, even if you’ve had to set your angel free.
*****************************************

2 years ago I was double blessed,
I was so scared that I couldn’t manage.
But God knew how much we could handle,
And added two healthy girls to our marriage.
It seemed surreal until their birth,
And now our lives are forever changed.
But what a blessing these girls have been,
I could never feel this accomplished again.
I’m proud of myself for all that I do,
It’s better than any 4 year degree.
To know that I’m the reason they’re here today,
Makes me feel as fulfilled as can be.
********************************
Tiny Angel
A birdie whispered in my ear, and said that you would not stay here,
I turned around in disbelief, that soon you would be leaving me.
A soul that never got the chance, to laugh and grow and learn to dance,
Now shines in heaven brilliantly, not for the world, but just for me.

*For more child loss poems of mine from last year..click HERE!*
I have one more angel I never even spoke of here. The one I lost only last month at 8 weeks, yet knew nothing about. I kind of numbed myself on that loss being that I didn’t think or know I was pregnant for a second. Not even after I passed the baby because it wasn’t 150% obvious to me. I was more frightened than anything.
I thought a natural conception for us, and being on and off the pill made it impossible. But when the doctor confirmed what my husband and others had thought when they saw what had..(how do I word it)..emerged from me, and I asked them if they had ever seen this before, it was pretty far out there. So much so, I couldn’t wrap my brain around it.
8 years of trying to conceive in all, ”How did that happen”, I wondered? Then I said it was a blessing of sorts because I had been on and off the birth control pill for endometriosis pain, fighting to try and stay off for good for my health’s sake. Also, medication I’d never have taken if I even suspected I had been pregnant, for pain. We certainly weren’t trying in any way shape or form, but…
I pushed the loss out of my mind, but today the miscarriage is more real, and I’m finally sharing it with more than my Facebook friends by my family here. Another angel at our sides forever. RIP junior. You are buried by you brother’s tree. We miss you!)
***************************************
Every mother who has lost a child is still a mom, and every woman who is lucky enough to have their baby or multiple children here with them on this day and always should know how lucky they (we) truly are..ALL YEAR LONG! It’s easy to take things for granted.
