Amy Knoche Poem
We get so accustomed to everything that surrounds us
We begin to call familair faces friends and familair objects home
Our true home lies within our hearts
Leaving means giving up all that has become familair and comfortable
Pain comes from knowing rebuilding lies ahead and saying goodbye.

Amy Knoche Poem
You may barely know me, but already you provide a sense of motivation.
The way you tell me I am intelligent or strong reassures me of my abilities and goals.
Maybe, it's knowing that even 1000 miles away, someone is pulling for me.
I know that I will never be able to say it enough, but, thank you for unselfishly giving
to someone you hardly know.

Amy Knoche Poem
Eyes show a glimpse into the soul
They show what the rests upon the heart, but what the lips cannot speak
Answers aren't found in words, they aren't even found in actions
Instead, the answers radiate from the eyes- either warmth or cold penetrate
the many layers set up to protect the already fragile heart
Trust the eyes and always know, that's where the true answers lie

Amy Knoche Poem
Condemnation- surrounds, engulfs and consumes me.
More than any other, I condemn myself.
Beatings and lashings that leave me unrecognizable- still I bear the bag of burdens,
punishing myself.
The guilt of what I have done, the unloyalty of my actions. I look only to find in
myself a disgrace.
And yet, you beckon me to receive your mercy, to be forgiven by your grace and still
I hold to condemnation.
I punish myself more harshly than you- you long to love me.
Only you can release me from the prison of my past, the bondage of guilt and shame.
You can help me soar, but only when I trust.
Trust that all my flaws and faults don't make me less- admitting them makes me more.
So set down the bag and leave it behind you say. Come enjoy life with me.
I will follow you, and pleasure together we will find.
