                                                     The Power of Amanda

Who was Amanda?

I never met her.

Yet, I know her power and her energy were great.

How can I know this?

Because I learned of the pain others feel without her presence.

I feel compelled to respond to this new knowledge placed before me.

Amanda was a force of greatness in the lives of many people.

She touched a special place within the heart of those remaining.

Without her they feel lost and in a trance.

As time passes I want them to see the power she left them.

They don't have to let go.....

     the memories...

     the feelings...

     the warmth of her presence.

All her goodness is within them still.

They never have to let go.

Instead, each can honor her life force.

Her energy and power will live on

As each person becomes a better person by having loved her.

Sad are the hearts that love you,
Silently the tears fall.
I try so hard to hide my heartache,
Deeply missed and Always remembered.

Can you hear me
When I say I love you,
In the darkness Before I sleep?

Full of hopes and dreams,
accomplished so much in such a short time. 
What the future held for you, we'll never know.
 
You have left awesome memories,
that will last a lifetime.
You have left a beautiful smile,
that will light my path when it seems dark,
You have left your name written,
on the walls of my heart.
You have left footprints
that no one can erase as they are
permanent in my heart.

        SHE LIVED WITH US,
         SHE PLAYED WITH US,
          SHE LAUGHED WITH US,
          SHE WalKED WITH US,
          SHE WAS ONE OF US,
            SHE IS ONE OF US,

            SHE WILL REMAIN ONE OF US FOREVER.
         SHE WILL LIVE ON IN EACH OF US.
           SHE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

I would like to say the pain is less, it isn't.
I would like to say I am over it, I'm not.
I would like to say, time heals all, it doesn't.
I would like to say it never happened, it did,
Now my life has been changed forever.

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. 

If I had known that sitting with you in Simpsonville would have been the last time we talked I would had held you up aonther hour.

If I had known the last time I saw you would be the last time I would hear your voice I would have recorded it so I could play it back everyday.

If I had known, I would have said I loved you each time we spoke so I wouldn't have found myself wispering in your coffin I love you Amanda so very much.

If I had known, I wouldn't have been waiting for another tomorrow.
