Elizabeth Amos

Elizabeth Amos was a writer whose love of words found expression through poetry and songwriting. She believed in the power of reading, writing, and creative expression, encouraging those around her to discover their own voices. Her daughter, Rebecca, remembers Elizabeth as someone who inspired a lifelong appreciation for literature and the written word.

Through her poetry, Elizabeth explored themes of compassion, dignity, and understanding. Her writing reflected a belief that every person deserved to be seen, respected, and valued. Whether composing songs or putting pen to paper, she used words to connect with others and express what mattered most to her.

Elizabeth passed away in 2021, leaving behind a collection of poems and songs that continue to preserve her voice and celebrate the kindness, empathy, and creativity that defined her life.

This is one of Elizabeth’s poems:

Understand where I come from

Don’t doubt what I can be

Remember

I too am a person

Respect

That I am me

E. Amos - 1979
