THE TWELVE YEARS OF AMANDA

by MC

First was Blue eyes of smiles

Happy and Joy that went on for miles

Second was small words of childish love

And a large hope of dreams brought from above

Three was trails but Never Traded

Tears from Mom and Dad and Hair lovely Braided

Four was Papa's little Girl

Land in his arms for a fast screaming twirl

Five was Bright and fast on a Bike

Barbies and Beanies you really like

Six was Fun and you Loved to Run

He was yours and yours was the Son

Seven so Big acting Like Eleven

Knowing you had a special place in Heaven

Eight was a year that won't be forgotten

Reading, writing, and a lot of candy called cotton

Nine was a year a Young lady was Born

But tears still fell when your favorite dress was torn

Ten seemed like it happened just yesterday

Full of Hope, like joy on a bright sunny day

Eleven brought An Angel for us to hear her sing

And of course Buttons was to you, your little king

Twelve will leave a memory in our hearts that will never sleep

For you are with our Lord Jesus taking your hand he will keep
