Analysis of Amanda Elise



My daughter is the love of my life.
I want her with me every day and every night.

She reminds me of a rainbow with all of it's radiant colors.
It really shouldn't be surprising that she is such a wonder.

She is beautiful, talented, and full of smiles.
Like a volcano erupting; she changes in a short while.

She clearly has her very own thoughts; and her own mind.
They often don't coincide with my own I find.

I have learned from my daughter; as she has from me.
The impact she's had on my life is very special I see.

Her emotions overflow like a waterfall coming down.
But I still can't imagine her never being around.

You see I love my daughter more than words can say.
My love for her, and her's for me; will never go away!
