Sometimes on sleepless nights I remember back

Thinking on the moments and nothing that I lack

I see your faint blue traces etched forever in my mind

When you were yet unborn I did not know what I’d find

All the joys and hopes and dreams that would come by way

I hadn’t a clue how you two could brighten my darkest day

Or how much love could be held by my very human heart

And yet, it’s been that way since really before our start

As each of you were in your mother’s womb listening to me talk

Telling you brave stories of what we’d do once you could walk

And now as I watch you two grow up to be so wonderful

I sit here watching you and apologize for being so blunderful

And I hope that you two know that I still feel faint blue traces

Each and every time I look into your bright, beautiful faces
