My mother used to call my twin brother and I her "chickadees". |
A tiny baby boy was born, in Montreal, in a building tall. And what a sight it was to see that slimey he should be and small. But shocking more it was to she, that gave to he, a life to lead that coming in she'd bring forth one then 'nother son and leave in three. Thus in her arms she craddled two, a pair of twins through days of spring They stared at her adoringly so lovingly with silly grins. With gentle smile and touch of lips, she kissed their heads and laid in beds the tired two who grew up fast and then at last she turned and said: "What a woe and tragedy, these children brought to mom who taught them to be free, to talk and laugh about the path that they have sought." For this advice their mother gave, right from the start, they took to heart. Boundaries they saw and waived, the roads were paved and blown apart. To church she brought them speedily without delay, in hopes that they would learn a few small curtosies their life would ease; if they changed their way. Their thoughts were touched and lives were swayed from church's spell, they could not tell and they turned sharp from selfishness, from wickedness that leads to hell. Yet destiny would not conceed that these new souls should be controled. And bible verse-cum-villany its tyranny they'd not behold Across their home their feet have trod without disdain through love and pain. Never would they leave their quest to put to test what they were made. But ever deep within their core their hearts keep near their mother dear. Through trials and triumphs they explore Forevermore, nothing to fear. |
