Roller Coaster

I used to love the excitement
the anticipation while standing in line
butterflies fluttering inside
energy from those around
speeding thrills of going up, up, up
then all the way down

Now my mind has changed
I’m not fond of this new ride I’m on
No ticket bought, just stumbled upon
Too chilling for my aching heart
Thrills turn to fear
Please let me off before I fall apart

Enlightenment

On April 2, 2013April 2, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Love32 Comments

The truth shall be carried along the breeze

into the rays of your sun

and the illumination of your moon

I’ll kiss the raindrop on your shoulder

and the tears from your skies

then you’ll feel the warmth of emotions

pouring from my eyes

CAUTION, APRIL FOOL’S DAY!

On April 1, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Fun25 Comments

Tread carefully through this day

Eyes looking every which way

Don’t believe all you hear

let the words go out the other ear

Today is not just an ordinary Monday

it’s a day of silliness and pranks

So stay alert as you work and play

and have a Happy April Fool’s Day

Early Easter Wishes!

On March 30, 2013March 27, 2016 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Faith, Holidays28 Comments

I’ve always loved this beautiful Irish Blessing below
and this photo brings back many fun Easter memories.

“May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand”

Wishing you all a very Happy and Blessed Easter!

Happy 1 Year Adoption Anniversary, Copper ♥ Limerick

On March 29, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Life, Limericks, Pets35 Comments

Copper has been a great addition to our family
and it took less than minutes for him to melt our hearts.
He’s strong and has tested us, but he is so loving,
that we’re still amazed at how he acts and the things he does.

There once was a strong chocolate lab
his loving ways were simply fab
His color was unique
here are photos for a peek
his personality was far from drab

He loves chewing on his nylabones
and they’re the strongest to endure his choppers!

One of his favorite pastimes, besides watching squirrels
in the tree-house, is sunbathing!

Life’s Precious Gems (A Nonet)

On March 28, 2013March 30, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Friendship, Nonet40 Comments

I’ve recently learned a new form of poetry, called a Nonet,
which consists of nine lines.
The first line has nine syllables, the second line eight syllables,
the third line seven syllables, etc… until line nine finishes with one syllable.
