I saw the beauty -
In their hands, the way they work,
In their eyes, the way they think,
In their hearts, the way they feel.
I saw the light -
In their hands, healing with their touch,
In their eyes, glimmering hope,
In their hearts, the one giving inner glow.
Now I behold them again after years,
I thank the stars that fate treated them well,
The young, awkward teenagers I once knew
Are now strong, beautiful ladies with the kiss of youth.
I watch them with pride,
I watch them with love,
I watch knowing I'd give anything for them,
My two most beloved friends.
And I thank my lucky stars,
For sending me these angels -
Angels who stand by me everyday,
Who loves me just the same.
