Our Babies

I found this online and thought I'd post it... I had to change a few words for it to apply to two babies.

In a baby castle just beyond our eyes,
Our babies play with angel toys that money cannot buy.
Who are we, to wish that they had known this world of strife?
Now play on, our babies, you have eternal life!
At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes our eyes,
We’ll hear your tiny footsteps come running to our side.
Your little hands caress us so tenderly and sweet,
We’ll breathe a prayer and close our eyes
And embrace you in our sleep.
Feelings we will treasure, sometimes they’ll make us sad …
Because, our little babies, we are still your mom and dad.
