Baby after a set of
Twin girls
Makes me believe
She saw two halves
Of a whole
Two opposites that
Attract
Two puzzle pieces
That fit
Wondering if
She got to know
Only the one
But sees the
Other now that she’s
Gone…
One following two
Trying to account
For three
As her heart broke
Then was rekindled
In one
Spoke to me about the
Two as she always
Saw something as
She stared at me…
Did she wonder about
Them as she watched
Me growing into
Something they never would…
She felt she failed them
And told me that often
Did she feel she
Would mess me up
So she stepped back
Putting me totally
On him…
Daddy’s girl I became
Was it by choice or
By resignation…
Things I feel in my heart
And see in my mind
As I review those
23 years with her…
Did she do the same
With her second
Rainbow
Giving her to me
As my responsibility
At birth and then
Again when they
Were going to go into
Her brain, saying this
Is on you…I don’t want
This you guilted me
Into it…
You have the responsibility
Of the aftermath
I won’t be here to
Do it was the conversation
As she went to the
Lobby during the proceedure
Giving me the paperwork
To sign with dad…
At 18 it was legal
And I gladly signed
As she knew I would
As her mind closed
Down knowing she
Would be gone when
Needed…
Would be the one
To take over…
She did have that belief
In me…just realizing
This now…gives me
A totally different
View of my mother…
She had faith and trust
In me like no other…
But then she knew
We were her rainbows
And would stick together
Like no others..,
Praise God for this
Final insight of
Love for my mother…
