Visions of beauty
Appealing, yet, deceiving
Poison concealing

Welcome to my corner of this wonderful community where I share my poetry, short stories, and occasional photos. My husband and I have been married for thirty-seven years, and we have two adult children. I have published four collections of poetry, a memoir, and a children’s picture book. I am working on another poetry collection and an early chapter children’s book. When you visit, I hope you find something to take with you, but that you also find something enticing enough to keep bringing you back. I truly appreciate your visit. Cheers, Lauren ❤️
THE RIGHT PATH
Take the higher road
Don’t let resistance prevail
Reach, Strive, Persevere

ANOTHER DOOR OPENS
She made humble resolution
when she found out the news
tears leisurely rolled down her face
How must one feel
when they hear those words…
accept them with heavenly grace?
In one way, she acknowledged
by speaking to God with an open heart
knowing her life was not a waste
Yet, not ready to give up the fight
and passionately shaking her head
she was prepared for this unthinkable race
She trusted God, but, was faintly bemused
(Believing His way was the right way)
not yet, was she parting for a higher place
So with infinite love from her family
With incredible support from her friends
She fought with a smile and embrace
Though, after some time of following rules
and playing this game with tenacity
her body tired and couldn’t sustain the pace
Thus, saying farewell to her loved ones
She was given angel’s wings
for her new life of eternal happiness
Another door opens…
In loving memory of family and friends
who have passed away~

Wonders of autumn
An umbrella of amber
Traveling splendor
A Haiku by LScott
Dear God…
I thank You for every day
Each day is a new breath taken
If, at times, my voice is not heard
Please don’t feel forsaken
You are not forgotten
You’re in my daily prayers
Moments I should lean on You
The One who resides upstairs
It’s effortless in this “busy-ness”
To become extremely diverted
To pointless things needing my focus
And leaving You deserted
Still, I thank You for guiding me,
Shining light on my journey’s way
And while I may question the path
From You I will never stray
Amen

FALLING
Here I am
with open arms
I give my love to you
My adoration
and devotion
are from my heart
so true
Mesmerized by
your baby blues
this came as no surprise
with just one look
I was lost
inside your dreamy eyes
Seek no more
for a caring soul
who’ll love you
as I do
We’re meant to be
magically
I for you
and you for me

Sharing a little Gratitude and Thanksgiving Wishes :)
I’m thankful for
my parents, who brought me
into this world
They had two lovely daughters
Then another little girl
They’ve lived into their nineties
Seen new changes along the way
Each day, I think of them
Each day, for them, I pray
I’m thankful for
my husband, I’m the lucky one
for all he does for me
for how he shares his heart
and gives of himself so lovingly
I’m thankful for
my children, my daughter and my son
for who they’ve grown to be
for their love and compassion
they give so generously
I’m thankful for
all those unmentioned, they know who they are
and for my loving dog who passed
She’ll be our forever star…
for sight, so I may see
all of God’s creation
for sound, so I may hear “I Love You”
with tremendous elation…
and last, but not forgettable
for all of you
my friends in the blogging world
May your Thanksgiving be
absolutely wonderful!
Hugs and Blessings
Lauren
