Amity: Friendship
In Loving Memory.
The meaning of the word Amity is friendship. The loving bond of kinship, the never-end ship.
Our Amity brings our souls together. It helps us flow together when we go together.
When we’re trapped in agony, a true Amity brings a weapon of empathy over apathy.
When we’re lost at sea our Amity is the life boat. Holding me above the water so that I float.
Amity is in our peers who help us face our fears and follows us all through the years.
When life feels like a never ending fight to us, Amity will be right here to bring some light to us.
Our Amity is a smile on a mug and the I haven’t seen you in a long time hug.
Amity is in our sisters and brothers. Schoolmates and workmates, lovers, fathers and mothers.
Our Amity is a beacon of hope whenever life gets hard and we think we can’t cope.
Amity can be a touch or a kiss. If Amity leaves this world today she will surely be missed.
Our Amity will always be someone who we love, as she now looks down watching us from above.
~~Dedicated to the memory of our amazing friend Amity Alyssa Plunkett, you are missed and loved.
