Tag! Maranda's "It"!

Good Evening, Dear Friends!

I hope this finds you all doing well

and having enjoyed the Labor Day Holiday!

I know I did!

 I was a very CRAFTY girl today...

Pics to come later! :)

Lately, the Roller-Coaster has been taking

some different twists and turns

than those you are accustomed to.

Now, these twists and turns aren't new to me,

but I have yet to share THIS aspect of my personality

with all you wonderful people :)

Are you ready for this?

I. AM. A. WRITER. 

 Now I know you guys already knew that...

this doesn't come as big shock

(obviously, I'm a writer...I have a blog...)

But I've BEEN a writer for many years.

I've kept journals since I was a little girl

and excelled in English and Creative Writing

all through High School.

One of my favorite things to write

(and read for that matter...)

is POETRY.

I've been wanted to share some of my poetry

on the blog for a while

but just haven't quite found the subject matter I wanted.

A few weeks ago,

one of my fellow bloggers
(who I follow regularly)

Miss Miki who blogs over at

Becoming What I Always Was

shared a post that was all about her husband

(You can find it here)

Miki said that it was a blogging game of “Tag”

that she had found on another blog

and simply wanted to carry it on.

I decided then and there

that I would do the same!

Only, I would be highlighting my

wonderful and adorable cousin/baby sister, Maranda.

Since we all know, I don't have husband yet :).

I asked Maranda to compile 

a List of Random Facts about herself. 

I then reworded them

and put them into poem form.

Ssssoooo, to hit two birds with one stone,

here is a POEM that is ALL ABOUT MARANDA! :)

Tag! Maranda's “It”!

(You may notice that MY game of tag

is SLIGHTLY LONGER than Miki's...

What's a girl to do?

I had a LOT to say about Maranda Autumn.)

 Maranda's Stanza

By: Sarah D

When you first meet her,

she appears to be quite shy.

But once she's comfortable with you,

OH MY!!!!

She's adventurous and daring

but she has some fears too

Clowns and big crowds

just to name a few.

Country music and Flirting

are two of her favorite things

But being in front of my camera

is what REALLY gives her wings!

She's a terrible speller

And her balance she often loses

but everyone she knows loves her

In spite of her bumps and bruises

She can fall asleep almost anywhere

And she makes horrible noises when she chews

But being with big dogs

takes away all of her blues!

She prefers being alone

to being in a crowd

And a world wide adventure

is what she dreams about aloud

She is Tinty-Tiny, but tough

Being a preacher's kid has taught her this

And even at 15, her sense of responsibility is far better

than just hit and miss. 

She carries EVERYTHING

in her great big purse

But for her, being disorganized

just might be a curse!

She hugs the shadows

A spotlight she does NOT seek

And she prefers trucks to cars

Any day of the week!

She's is sweet and kind

and has a big heart

and to nearly everyone

she is willing to give a part.

I love my cousin Maranda

A baby sister she is to me

Having her in my life

Makes me giggle with glee

God has HUGE plans for her life

Without a doubt, this I KNOW

With Him on her side

To great heights she will go

Maranda, focus on Jesus

and let Him have His way

and in due time,

we will all be “Blown Away”!

 Thank you for reading!
