AMANDA DARLENE

Not flesh of my
flesh,
Not bone of my
bone.
But still
miraculiously my
own.
Never forget
for a single
minute,
You din't grow
under my heart
But in it.
-Fleur Conkling Heylinger


Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.
I will say to the north, `Give them up!' and to the south, `Do not hold them back.'
Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth
Isaiah 43: 5-6

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
1 Samuel 1:27
