The joy that you bring to me
The wonderment of your being
Your active little bodies
Not once stopping for a rest
Your squeals and cries and laughter
The sparkle in your eyes
Your banging on each other
Your bubble-bath surprise
Food throwing, spilling, trampling
Does weary me a bit
But surprises always constant
My love grows oh so deep
My three darlings
Far in my heart I keep.
