Part I
Written for: The Twins
born so tiny. small enough to fit. one in each hand. the doctors weren't quite positive. how you would make it. momma had to take it. the reality that. you two might die. these little beautiful girls. right in front of her eyes. family got to prayin. and you pulled through. gonna be handicapped. but what's a child gonna do. growin up so lovely. each day gettin prettier. smarter. kinder. dealing with your situation. have to go to therapy. a bunch of different surgeries. can't explain the way I felt. saw those cast up to your knees. gotta get that botox now. six for each leg. can't imagine you so strong. heard your screams from down the hall. damn. I guess I'm wrong. but you try you hardest. you put your foot down. walkin up the walls. not listenin to. those names that you're called. using your minds. to handle every circumstance. bonded by the same heart. you're given a chance. to use this power. to both of your advantage. talkin' different languages. givin each other glances. couple years ago. we lost our cousin Jimmy. had the same problem. don't know if I have it in me. I worry about you every day. thinkin to myself. what if they went too. I put it back up on the shelf. I know that couldn't happen though. look at you. you're beautiful. God has a plan for you. and you're not allowed to go. until you've done. what he's told you to.
