AMANDA

ONCE YOU WERE LITTLE,
ASLEEP IN MY ARMS.
I WANTED FOREVER
TO KEEP YOU FROM HARM.
I KNEW THE TIME WOULD COME
YOU WOULD BE GROWN.
SOMEDAY YOU'D MARRY
WITH CHILDREN YOUR OWN.
WHEN YOU WERE A TODDLER
YOU CLIMBED ON MY KNEE,
THEN YOU WANTED DOWN
SO I SET YOU FREE,
BUT I NEVER NOTICED
HOW TIME SLIPPED AWAY
AND FEW WERE THE DAYS
YOU WERE CAREFREE AT PLAY.
NOW YOU'RE A LADY.
YOU'VE BLOSSOMED AND GROWN.
YOUR SWEET GENTLE SPIRIT
YOU'VE WILLINGLY SHOWN.
YOUR HEART HOLDS A PURPOSE
TO MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT.
AMANDA, YOU'RE BRINGING
SUCH JOY TO MY LIFE.
