Mrs. Delphine Jackson III: Twice the Luck

Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)



Welcoming back from vacation,
Hunter welcomed herself home.
She told him thanks for reaction,
He knew she happily welcomed.

As the night came they stayed up,
Then they prayed, pleads for child.
Hopes for a child; this sex is for us,
Prays their child will be worthwhile.

The next morning came all happily,
She awoken with a piercing scream.
The pain was too much unbearably,
As she awoken, thinking it's a dream.

They went to the hospital so painful,
As the doctors tried to make pushes.
Just pain for her was so unbearable,
She popped out a boy and girl twins.
