Splashing in the tub the differences are so clear
One so rounded and robust, smooth white skin gleams head to toe
Smile of straightest teeth, straightest eyes, curliest hair
The other so slim with a body so straight, always mottled purplish pink as a sunset
Thick sweet neck and quirky toes that spell death for so many
But these two know nothing of chromosome counts
They take no notice of the thin white telling line
They splash and play and swim
Naming the floating letters
Standing up in turns to pour a waterfall on the other
Both exclaiming, Me again, do!
In voices sounding so alike
Yet different He has made them
Each perfect in her own way
They are sisters
From His hand
I am so thankful
They are mine.
those smiles are just "priceless"!I enjoy so much your Eliza pictures and stories!!

I love those "squeaky clean" smiles.

Oh my, I commented on the beautiful young ladies before even reading the poetic words above the photo. So moving and memorable.

Beautiful, Kimberlee - you and those sweet little girls. Now if you'll excuse me while I go get my kleenex!

What a beautiful header on your blog now! What a beautiful family! Bath time was always my very favorite time of the day. It seems to bring out little angels in the home, doesn't it? :-) God bless!
