Amanda

by loretta Taylor   Jun 30, 2006


They laid you in my arms all tiny and new
And God whispered in my ear
I have someone special for you.

A bundle of joy , all blonde hair and green eyes
And you held our hearts with invisible ties

Cooing walking ,talking and running
Before we knew it school was beginning

A mischievous child with a giving soul
You were into everything and on the go.

A gangly teen with a tomboyish grin,
Through the giggles we saw the beauty within.

`You entertained us with gifts of humor and song.
We knew of these talents all along.

Soon you were off to chase dreams of your own
Amanda on a mission, was something to behold.

You would follow your dreams so far away,
And in our hearts you will always stay.

For wherever in this world you may roam,in my heart you will always be home.

Life is not about ends, but new beginnings,and have found the love with whom you will be living.

For life is a circle that never ends,
And with you a new circle begins

One day God will whisper in your ear
about a child you will hold so dear.

Sweetie, thanks for the gifts of love and laughter.
I wish for you a love that lasts forever and after.

    I am commenting on my own poem because I changed it to publish on here. The original name on the poem was Amanda, she is my daughter. I wrote to and read it to her at her wedding reception. My husband talked me into changing it . He said it was a tribute to her, keep it that way. Thought I should explain

    They laid you inn my arms all tiny and new
    [I think you just mean "in"]
    have someone special for you.
    [Maybe you could say "I have someone special for you.]

    This poem nearly made me cry though. I'm guessing you've written this about a child of yours? Anyway. I thought it was really touching and heartfelt. Any kid/teenager would be lucky to have you as their mother. =) Keep up the great work! 5/5
