Her mission in life was to show us the path to trod,

Her life here on earth was short, but full of love

As she guided us to strive for heaven above.

For one so small she had a big task,

In 17 months she accomplished much and we should not ask,

Why God oh Why did you abandon us so?

For God does not stoop so low ,

As to give us more than we can bear,

But is there to help us with such care!

Amanda is in heaven with those who have gone before,

Just waiting for the rest to get to Heaven’s door.

At heaven’s door she will greet us with a smile so sweet,

As she shows us how she can now use her feet.

Amanda is running and dancing around,

Playing hiding seek with the angles in white gowns.

When nights are long and so dreary,

Think of that beautiful smile that was so cheery.

God gave us an Angel to love and to hold

No one else would ever be so bold,

Or show such love

To guide us to that home up above.

For surely Amanda’s birth and time on earth

Could surely be likened to that other birth,

When Mary gave birth to the baby Jesus

Who was our savior
