Poems by Amanda Downs

Theme: Children and Parenting

DAUGHTER
I smile inside
When I think of her
Her eyes are the sunshine in my heart

VIRTUOUS
When I was young
She was perfect
Now that I am older
She is no longer flawless
Should I judge?
Yes and no
My children will judge me
I hope they will prove me blessed

MY PSALM
Oh Lord my soul cries out to you
You have saved them in days of old and days of new
Save now me in my time

Lord only you can create light and dark
And separate the two
Separate me from my darkness

You alone are Holy
Rescue me
Revive me
Resurrect me

KENNEDY
Thank you
Her words were honey
The sparkles in her eyes were fireworks
Her hands were not eager
I watched her with admiration
She was genuine
Her innocence pure
My love for her makes me better
