Tribute to Amanda Margaret Pope, daughter of Lorraine Coker and Step Daughter to Richard J Hannah. Amanda ( words, music and Vocals by Richard J Hannah)How does one so special just not know,How we all love her so. Amanda walked like a quirky songSmiles followed her down every roadHands reached out but she stayed withdrawnA mirror held questions she never showedA comedy voice and pranks for daysLaughed until the night fell awayShe kept her secrets in a small, locked placeSaid she was fine in the most fragile way. Amanda, you were loved by every roomAmanda, you were summer after noonAmanda, you were everything we knewAmanda, why couldn&#39;t you love you? She learned to give until there was noneWore other people&#39;s light like a coatCandles for her birthday, wishes for a sunStill she counted every note she wroteWe traced the outlines of where she beganHeld on to echoes of her laughTold her she mattered a thousand timesBut words slipped past like a broken glass. Amanda, you were loved by every roomAmanda, you were summer after noonAmanda, you were everything we knewAmanda, why couldn&#39;t you love you? Her mother waits for that daily call,How are you momma? Are you in at allMeet me in town for a coffee she’d sayNow Amanda has gone awayIf loving her could&#39;ve been enoughIf someone had shown her how to stayWe would give her all the sky and sunTo keep the shadows from her face. Amanda, you were loved by every roomAmanda, you were summer after noonAmanda, you were everything we knewAmanda, why couldn&#39;t you love you? Amanda, oh Amanda, we still call your nameAmanda, oh Amanda, gone too soon to blameSo, sleep easy, no more painAmanda, sleep, the stars know you by name.

Our Amanda
