FOR AMANDA
My first-born miracle,
You blessed my youth
And forever, my heart
With your liquid brown gaze.
All the men in your life
Were caught in your baby grasp,
Helpless to resist your sweet,
Angelic smile
As you changed from a tempest
To an imp, to a cherub,
To a diva, and back again.
So quixotic,
So determined,
And so very loved.
