Poems Written By My Daughter And I That Was Published In A Coffee Table Book

Back about 1999 or 2000, don't exactly remember. I had wrote a poem to my youngest daughter Amanda Rae, called "Amanda Rae, My Little One" and she wrote one in response to my poem called "Thank You".
I sent these 2 poems to Poetry.com. We both won and what we got was our poems published in what is called "A Coffee Table Book". Here are those 2 poems.

"Amanda Rae, My Little One"
Amanda Rae, she's my little one!
On her special little throne she sits upon,
Just for her it was made.
She's the last little part of me I help make.
Born of such beauty,
with hazel eyes such as I.
And hair of golden hue.
She will always be my Little One!
Hope she knows how much she is LOVED
And how much I so miss my
Amanda Rae, my Little One!
I LOVE YOU...
Always,
MOM

Her response poem

"Thank You"
Thank you for the day I was born,
Thank you for my first word,
Thank you for the day my fish died,
Thank you for everything I tried,
Thank you for the day I say my vows,
Thank you for my first house,
Thank you for me,
Thank you for you.
