I had no idea
Of the blessing I was due
Of the precious bits of Heaven
In the tiny forms of you!
I had no idea of the miracles
God would send down to earth
I had no idea of the joy to unfold
With your precious dual birth.

I was not aware
Of all the joy I would feel
When I first saw two angels
And still can't believe you're real!

Today I sit and ponder
All the joy you've brought my way
But no matter how earnestly I try
There just are no words to say--

For how do you describe God-given love,
With beauty and innocence so rare?
How do you describe the fragrance
Of a tiny baby's hair?

How you describe the wonder
Of watching sweet babies each day
Learning, walking and talking
Spreading sunshine as they play?

I cannot find the words to say
Now will my pen expel
Adjectives of love strong enough
The love in my heart to tell.
