A Bright Light

On By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Book Promotions, Books, Poetry

From the hugs, cuddles, and games of fetch, Copper learned he could trust us. And so, he became family. For thirteen years, he gave us unconditional love. He crossed over the rainbow bridge this past March. It is serendipitous to know that he came into our lives in March and left our earthly world also in March – the month of new beginnings. He was a bright light in our lives that will shine eternally. This is the power of our dogs or any pet. They leave a positive, long-lasting imprint on our souls. (Part of the Preface)

He Carries On

A copper-colored coat he dons
Looking handsome as a celebrity icon
A senior now
Gray on his brow
Even with pains, he carries on.

My Shadow

Feeling empty in my bones
walking from room to room,
where is my shadow?



I hope you’ll let Copper touch your heart like he’s touched so many already. Or perhaps, you have a friend or family member who would find comfort in reading my book. A Huge Thanks to You who have read this special poetry collection and left beautiful, heartfelt reviews. ❤️🤎🧡

      1. Grief manifests in different forms, not just in humans but as you’ve written, in dear ones like our pets too. And anything that we love really. Looking forward to reading. Thanks for sharing, Lauren ❤️
