I saw a little boy today

Aged about three and a half

He had the most infectious smile

And a childish little laugh

 

I saw a little girl today

Aged about the same

She said Hello and waved at me

Kelly was her name

 

Standing close together

They resembled one another

Same age, same height, same impish grin

I think they were sister and brother

 

Twins would be a better word

Such a beautiful sight to see

This handsome little couple

Dressed very similarly

 

They looked at me in puzzlement

Ties binding they can’t understand

They know there’s something about this lady

As they wander off hand in hand.

 

I watch them go and wonder when

I’ll ever see their like again
