A Father's Kiss

In loving memory of my baby girl Amanda. 16 years were not enough. 
You are ours for eternity and we will see you on the other side. 

Amanda Kellie Andrews 12/19/1995-7/11/2012


Her Father holds her in His loving arms, 
And with a kiss He lets her go. 
He sends his beloved daughter down, 
To her family waiting below. 


He knows that they will love her, 
With every fiber of their hearts. 
The temple bond He sealed them in, 
Promises they will never truly part. 


His Father’s intuition reminds Him 
How faith can be shaken when in rough seas, 
So He blows kisses from the heavens 
To etch her smile forever in their memories. 


A family kneels in prayer together. 
Hearts breaking as they try to comprehend. 
How the love and joy they shared with her, 
Could come so abruptly to an end. 


He tries His best to comfort them, 
Somehow hoping to lighten their load. 
The bonds of eternity begin to strengthen, 
As she prepares their castle at the end of their road. 


She sits, perfected, by His side, 
As He watches the scene below. 


Her father holds her in his loving arms, 
And with a kiss he lets her go.

"We'll love you forever. We like you for always. As long as we are living, our baby you'll be."
