Getting Acquainted

I spend most of my time playing alpha female for my pack of dogs. Lucy (Boston terrier), Harley (chihuahua). Hershey (miniature dachshund) and Jasper (standard schnauzer) are my entertainment and sometimes muses. Jasper is a puppy mill rescue dog and I'm in the intital stages of writing a series of vignettes of his life since the rescue contrasted with eduaction about rescues and puppy mills. I do actually have other interests than writing and my dogs. I love to scrapbook, watch ice hockey, listen to a variety of music genres and reading. My parents both were avid readers and passed that love on to me. I'll read a cereal box if you set it in front of me!

Days Gone By

Reflecting on my days gone by,
of all the things I've missed;
regrets now are haunting me
a never-ending list.

Dreams shot down in their prime,
never had a chance;
Words that never left my lips,
dances left to dance.

Disappointment, I've had my share,
it seems to have no end;
People who have let me down,
on no one can I depend.

Lies spoken by friend and foe
have torn my world apart;
Leaving deep, unhealing scars
upon my soul and heart.

Losses, I count one by one;
Each brings its own deep grief;
I fight my way through darkness
but cannot find relief.

So many things I wish I'd done--
To see, to do, to be;
Wondering if it's too late
for another chance for me?
