                   STEPHANIE AND I WENT INTO A STORE

                   THEN SUDDENLY SHE BEGIN TO SAY

                   "AMANDA HAS FLOWERS PLENTY I KNOW

                   BUT WOULD IT HURT IF SHE HAD ONE MORE"

                   THEY HAD ALL THE COLORS WE SEEM TO LOVE

                   THERE WAS EVEN SOME WITH PRETTY WHITE DOVES

                   WE JUST COULDN'T SEEM TO MAKE UP OUR MINDS

                   THE STORE WAS CLOSING AND WE RAN OUT OF TIME

                   "THEN SHE WENT ON TO SAY

                    GRANDMA BOUGHT JENNY AND ME AN EASTER TOY

                    IF AMANDA HAD ONE IT WOULD BRING HER PLENTY OF JOY"

                    SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THAT AMANDA IS GONE

                   THAT SHE'S IN HEAVEN BY OUR FATHERS THRONE

                   BY THIS TIME THE TEARS WHERE HERE

                   AND THAT WAS WHEN SHE WAS SUCH A DEAR

                   "DREMA" SHE SAID  LETS JUST GO HOME

                                       LITTLE ANGEL

                         WHEN GOD CALLS LITTLE CHILDREN

                          TO DWELL WITH HIM ABOVE

                         WE MORTALS SOMETIME QUESTION

                         THE WISTOM OF HIS LOVE

                         FOR NO HEARTACHE CAN COMPARE WITH

                         THE DEATH OF ONE SMALL CHILD

                         WHO DOES SO MUCH TO MAKE OUR WORLD

                         SEEM WONDERFUL AND MILD

                         PERHAPS GOD TIRES OF CALLING

                         THE AGED INTO HIS FOLD

                         SO HIS PICKS A ROSEBUD

                         BEFORE IT CAN GROW OLD

                        GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH WE NEED THEM

                        AND SO HE TAKES BUT FEW

                        TO MAKE THE LAND OF HEAVEN

                        MORE BEAUTIFUL TO VIEW

                 

                        BELIEVING THIS IS DIFFUCULT

                        STILL SOMEHOW WE MUST TRY

                        THE SADEST WORD MANKIND KNOWS

                       WILL ALWAYS BE "GOODBYE"

                       SO WHEN A  LITTLE CHILD DEPARTS

                       WE,WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND

                       MUST REALIZE GOD LOVES CHILDREN

                       "ANGELS ARE HARD TO FIND"

                       SADLY MISSED BY HER PARENTS

                       SHE HAS BEEN AN ANGEL FOR 1 YEAR NOW

                                   MY MOM IS A SURVIVOR

             

                                 my mom is a survivor,

                                 or so i've heard it said.

                                 but i can hear her crying at night,

                                 when all others are in bed.

                                i watch her lay awake at night

                                  and go to hold her hand.

                                so doesn't she know i'm with her

                                  to help her understand.

                                but like the sands on the beach,

                                  that never wash away....

                                i watch over my surviving mom,

                                  who thinks of me each day.

                                she wears a smile for others....

                                a smile of disguise!

                                but through heaven's door i see,

                                tears flowing from her eyes.

                                my mom tries to cope with death,

                                to keep my memory alive.

                                but anyone who knows her knows,

                                 it is her way to survive.

                                as i watch over my surviving mom,

                                through heaven's open door...

                                i try to  tell her that  angels

                                protect me forevermore.

                                 i know that doesn't help her...

                                or ease the burden she bears.

                                so if you get the chance,go visit her....

                                and show her that you care.

                                for no matter what she says....

                                no matter what she feels,

                                my surviving mom has a broken heart,

                                 that time won't ever heal.

 

 

                    IN A BABY CASTLE JUST BEYOND MY EYE

                    MY AMANDA PLAYS WITH ANGEL TOYS

                    THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY

        

                     WHO AM I TO WISH HER BACK

                      INTO THIS WORLD OF STRIFE

                     NO PLAY ON MY BABY GIRL

                       YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE

                         for just a while i carried you

                        close to my beating heart

                         you were loved and cherished

                        right from the very start

                        each day i felt your presence

                        as i watched you quickly grow

                        each day your heart beat softly

                        as only i could know

                       and now god has you in his arms and

                           i've found it is so true

                       i will spend a lifetime

                       of tomorrows  loving you

                        Amanda Faith Wooten (Forrest)

                        i love you with my all and forever

                                          your mommy,Drema

can i ever remember when you was born! what a nite we all had and the next week because not only did we lose you we thought that we was going to lose your mommy also and your pawpa wooten wouldn't let them bury you until the doctor told us that your mommy was going to live because he said if she died that you would be buried in her arms and believe me she wishes alot of times that she would have went with you.your mommy use to go to your grave after work everyday and stay until dark .sometimes i would go up there and sit with her and we would just talk about you,how beauitful you was.your pretty curly brown hair and your big blue eyes!and then we would laugh because she use to say that she hoped you wasn't born with feet like hers or your dads and i told her that you had no choice in the matter.you was so pretty when i saw you the first time and i could not believe that you had become an angel.i love you and miss you amanda faith
