Amanda Ford - I Am...

From babies screaming,
And Barney singing,
Of love and of like,
As we sat on the floor.

From fire on birthdays,
And flooded out tents,
To Jeremy and Justin,
Who away they went.

Now Rosy plus baby,
Ben and his wife,
Tyler and Aubrey,
Spoiled through life.

From grandmas and grandpas,
And Dr. Mario all day,
From counting to 100,
And staying in to play.

From daycare to Holmes to Franklin and more,
From Poston to Mountain View - Westwood galore,
From penguin pajamas and hopping about,
From Amy and dolly and the bears gone out.

From 'Brothers Are A Bother, '
In Voices 2004,
From Who's Who Among Students,
And NJHS no more.

And now as i look back and see where I've been,
And the people i met and what I've learned from them,
I see that fate in this world is not always fair,
And just 'cause they say it, it doesn't mean they'll be there.

Amanda Ford
