A Daughter's Gift

In life’s grand play, a gift came not just once,
But twice, in forms of joy and tiny feet.
Two stars, my granddaughters, my heart’s response,
A blessing, twice over, and oh so sweet.

From you, my child, they came, a mirrored pair,
Reflecting back our past, our love, our ties.
In their bright eyes, I see your youthful flair,
And in their laughter, our family's spirit flies.

These little ones, with hands so small yet strong,
Hold our tomorrow in their gentle grasp.
In them, our stories, our dreams, prolong,
A future bright, in their tiny hands clasped.

A daughter’s gift, in double measure true,
Two granddaughters, life’s love forever anew.
