Family of Four!!

Fri Feb 24 2023|poetry

"When Three Become Four It’s such a change for our babies When three become four. They wake up one morning And they’re the baby no more. They’ve had us all to themselves for the whole life they’ve known. And then, all of a sudden, Their family has grown. With those new arrivals, Our expectation increases: “You’re a big boy now, sweetheart, Come help pick up the pieces.” We can’t comprehend How much their life has changed. Everything that they’ve known Has now been rearranged. And they can’t yet express All the thoughts in their heads. So the tantrums now jump To the forefront instead. While we might feel frustrated, It’s our role to remind: “You are loved more than ever. You’ll never be left behind.” So, my darling, we need you More than ever before. And we’ll all grow together, As this family of four❤️"
