Not Once, But Twice

I don't want to part from her.
I don't want to see my baby go.
Just a little while longer to hug her and feel her close.

Little by little she keeps getting further and further away.
I wish I could slow down time to keep her longer, I pray.

It feels as if one day she will be so far in the horizon,
where my eyesight becomes a blur -
from the distance, from the tears, of having to let her go.

I wish I could keep her close where I can always see her beautiful face,
even though she has been engraved in my heart, which can never be erased.
But she is too precious to keep to myself.
I now know what God was thinking as he decided to bless me with her embrace.

And this the rest of the world ought to know.
Thank you God for trusting and believing in me, not once but twice with precious souls.

My duty will be to nurture their souls and share their light with this world.
So everyone can see, that like you and me
she plays a part in the beauty of our universe and galaxy.

I know how strong and bright her light shines. She is treasure, precious gold of mine.
I now put my faith and I believe in her, I hope she knows this and loves herself,  never forgetting her worth.

May she look within and get to know her beautiful soul
THEN she will know what I already know...

That wonderful glow that so brightly shows,
My blessing a heavenly gift.
Not once but twice my precious souls.
