(I wrote this poem to my son and daughter, during their swimming practice)
It’s you all I can see in a sea of arms and heads,
And I delight in every bit of it.
As I see you getting stronger and stronger,
And taller and taller
it is your inner beauty what most makes me proud
The sight of you is to my eyes more beautiful than the most beautiful place
My love for you is more profound than the deepest sea
You are more valuable to me than the greatest treasure
Seeing you move inside the water,
Beholding your rhythm and your strength
Is like listening to music,
The most beautiful symphony you are
I am so blessed to be your mother,
I am so blessed that you are mine.
