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.

Your tribute really takes off at the end… As you changed from a tempest To an imp, to a cherub, To a diva, and back again. So quixotic
