The Gift He Gave
Like a maiden from a midnight movie
or the haunting voice of a dream
she kisses my cheek with warmth of the sunshine
with eyes that sparkle and gleam.
 
She brought the beginning of wonders to us
to two hearts long searching for love
she sealed us forever as family and kin
a true, dear gift from Above.
 
My Valentine, Amanda, whose love never ends
I cherish the day you arrived
I pledge to you always as God gives me breath
my best, as Father and friend.
