GREAT THINGS HAPPENING

I HAVE A TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING COMPANY INTERESTED IN MY NEW BOOK "THE UNICORN MAGE"

LETTING GO WITH GRACE

On a sorrow filled windy night the
the angels above take flight
Coming to take away some one you love
to give them their wings up above.
With her last breath
her final good bye
Leaving family here as they mourn and cry
They will think of her often
as her lord she meets.
Living on forever
in their heartbeats
The wind picks up
it knows her last breath is coming soon
The angels gather to sing
as they escort her home.
Natures own spring was her favorite time
though its sad to think
with the next she wont be here
there is sorrow in her loved ones tears
yet joy meets them in their hearts
with the life she led she will be greatly missed
her family knows this is not deaths kiss
Her vessel now vacant
she has gone home to watch over those she loves
from beside the lords thrown
she is still guiding us in her own special way
she knows she will see us all again some day.

THOUGH ONLY OUT FOR A FEW MONTHS AMANDA KIRBY HAS ALREADY RECEIVED FIVE STAR REVIEWS.

    

                The hopes heartaches and dreams of a young woman’s soul.  Official Press Release.

                Author Amanda Kirby has only had her book out a few months and has already  received FIVE STAR reviews for her inspirational book "The Hopes Heartaches and Dreams Of A Young Woman's Soul" on amazon.com and goodreads.com. This book is an emotional journey that has the reader reeling from the first page. She has captured the aspects of life that most people don’t dare to cover. Her poetry is inspirational, moving and captivates every emotion that anyone can go through in a life time. As in this very powerful poem.  “My Guardian Angel Watches Over Me” 

“ I dance through your dreams as butterflies and signs of life. You look at me and see things you thought were gone. I look through your soul, and see a kind person who doesn’t know how to show love. Someone who has been hurt too many times. I see a heart that needs to heal. A woman who doesn’t know how to feel. I also see a woman who needs to look inside herself. To see the good she thought was gone. “

The reviews are amazing one review writes "I didn't put it down until it was done! Some of the things she writes about are so powerful and hits so close to home for me I haven't felt this way in YEARS. This is a POWERFUL collection of modern poetry and it belongs in every school library. "The Hopes, Heartaches and Dreams of a Young Woman's Soul" is highly inspirational and very recommended.” This is one of the best reviews i have read for a book in a long time. Another reviewer says, “Amanda Kirby has put together some moving and beautiful thoughts in this collection. In sharing her own experiences she tells us in her introduction that she wants to help others - and I think she has done so. There are some lovely descriptions of Nature and there is a lot of insight into relationships. I particularly liked the line, written about her husband-to-be just before their wedding, 'He has given my heart a song,' but there are many other moving thoughts. As a fellow Christian I loved her description of Heaven in one poem, and of her own experience of meeting the Lord in another, 'Saved.'" these reviews are not typical of a young writer. Amanda has many influences in her life from the Christian way she was raised to her everyday life. If you are interested in reading her all inspiring book here are the links:

EXCERPT FROM THE HOPES HEARTACHES AND DREAMS OF A YOUNG WOMAN;S SOUL

LONGING TO LOVE      

  The heart longs to love, but through the walls no one can break. The walls hold my heart steady as it beats with pain. Around the walls are locks and chains. The chains hold the wall that holds the heart, longing for loves embrace.

        The locks hold the chains where behind the wall the heart beats. I go through the pain. One day there will be a key to unlock the chains. Strong hands will rip the chains away from my heat. Breaking the links made from so much pain. The walls will come crumbling down. I will be free to love again. One day soon my savior will come releasing the pain and willing to love.

EXCERPT FROM THE HOPES HEARTACHES AND DREAMS OF A YOUNG WOMAN'S SOUL

The tortured lovers heart

        This love is one who all his life did not say a word. To the one he hoped would one day be his to wed. He remembers the times they had. Holding hands and talking. All the times they had as friends. All those times looking at from the corner of his eye.

        Now to find they have grown old as friends do. On the day of her death his heart is torn apart. He mourns her as if they had spent an eternity together. Soon he feels warmth about him. He knows this is the warmth of her love, she had never shared with him. Never to tell him the way she truly felt.       GET IT TODAY  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_10?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=the+hopes+heartache+and+dreams+of+a+young+woman%27s+soul&sprefix=THE+HOPES+%2Caps%2C242

EARTH AND BEYOND

As I sit here by the river and I look in your eyes. I see them painted like the desert skies. They run on forever. Your smile takes me to the very height beyond how high and eagle my fly. Life with you is kind and sweet. You are the reason that I go on. You’re the inspiration from morning till the next dawn.

        Gone from this life you haven’t a care. Meet me in heaven I soon will be there. You led a good life, you had a ball. Soon with open arms you’ll welcome us all. You did not judge me for all that I did. Instead you told me to give all I could give.

        When I come home I will be right by your side. Holding your hand as you are my guide. Life is all too short. It is only a small ride. For that time I will thank you on the day I arrive.

        I have come to be at peace with myself. I could only have done this with your help. It was you who got me though those cold dark nights. The nights I needed a friend. When I leave this place I hope to see your face. To think you for always being there. On the nights I felt no one cared.

        Soon I will  be home. In your arms I’ll be looking back to see all I can see. You have run a good race I hope to hear you say. You may enter my kingdom because you believed in me come what may. So with open arms I welcome my child. My hopes and dreams for you were all worth wild.

        You did not let me down. So enter here and be with your loved ones on the other side. Watch as others take that short ride. You will be proud of them I’m sure. You already know the pain they will endure. You made them my children of that I am sure. You taught them to abide by my rules. They will be here soon to be united with me.

        All that I ask is that you believe in me. I am the ground that mulches the tree. When the wind blew I was always there. So I welcome you home with out a care.
