Maverick Atticus Greene Matt
This is the story of Maverick and Erixon, who grew side by side and chin to chin.
Erixon jiggled and wriggled inside mom's tum,
Maverick was peaceful, the quieter one.
Erixon couldn't wait to be set free,
but Maverick had other plans, you see ...
Maverick wished to ease his twin's grief, As he knew his time on earth was brief.
And when Erixon had grown big and strong, it was time for Maverick to move along.
Maverick whispered gently: Even though I cannot stay, I'll still be with you every day.
The time has come for me to go, but I love you more than you'll ever know.
I am the brightest star in the night sky,
a butterfly flapping way up high.
I am the dancing summer breeze,
and the golden autumn leaves.
I am the sand that tickles your toes,
and the sun that kisses your nose.
I am the sparkle in your eye,
and the salty tears you cry.
I am the dimple in your cheek,
and your grubby little feet.
I am the soft curl of your hair,
and the depth of your twinkly eyed stare.
I am the gurgle in your laughter,
I am ... your forever after.
Your twin I'll always be, For I am you and you are me. So when you feel sad or just a bit blue, take a moment and think of me. Look in the mirror and right on cue, I'll be smiling back at you.
