Every day she wrote in her journal. She kept up with everything. It is amazing really. Even though she has went on to be with Jesus, it is like I am still visiting her when I get lost in her books.
I have always been interested in artsy things, such as writing, singing, sewing/crocheting, and music. I like the idea of leaving something behind that came from the heart of me. My poems are a big part of that, in my opinion.
Its amazing to be able to go back to something that I wrote sixteen years ago. Its funny to me to read the poems that I wrote when I was eleven compared to the ones that I write now. What a big difference. Its like watching my own self grow right before my eyes.
My poems are about love, life, and God, who makes love and life possible. I hope my poetry can help and encourage people. Just because it feels like it, we are never alone.
God Bless,
Amanda Ivesview less
