Amye Nicole Bird
Third Place winner and Honorable Mention, Eye On Life Poetry Contest 2011-2012
Amye Nicole Bird is a thirty-seven year old life long resident of Utah. She has always had a passion for reading and writing poetry and has been writing for over twenty years. She wrote her prize-winning poem, “The Day The Sun Forgot To Rise”, in honor and in memory of her grandparents, Claude and Mae Holm, who both suffered and eventually passed away from Alzheimers disease.
Amye: “I also wanted to bring awareness to the fact that those suffering from this disease are still our precious family members, friends, and relatives. They deserve to be loved and cared for with the greatest of respect and gentleness. Though their physical bodies ‘forget’ who they are, their souls never do! ——I loved you then as much as I still love you now!”
