How can I even begin to thank all of you for bringing me to this milestone.  I am overwhelmed at the support I receive from this blogging community, and beyond.  When I started this journey a little over five years ago, I was thrilled when I had one follower.  I’m still trying to wrap my head around 3500!!

There were many times I have thought about giving up, packing it in and saying it was a fun ride (and I actually did except, my daughter wouldn’t have it), but your comments and likes are what keep me going.  The friendships I have made here, and around the social media circuits, are more than I could ever imagine.  You have touched my heart and soul, and I am humbled by your kindness!!

Again, thank you so, so very much!  ❤

With Much Love,
Dorinda

Where once was a door, is no longer there

Only bricks, and cracks, filled the space

I seem to remember, he, who lived here

Though I cannot, really, remember his face

Walking closer, I had to examine the wall

I really wished I weren’t so nearsighted

I, somehow, knew this wouldn’t be good

Then it hit me, twas a love, unrequited

In the blink of an eye, it had happened

The door that once was, had returned

He pulled me through, no way to go back

Tis what happens, when a lover is spurned

We shouldn’t acquiesce, about what the future holds

To resort to this feeling, leaves us unopened to change

Dare to challenge life, and as things start to unfold

Never, ever settle, for what you can always rearrange

Falling from the sky

Winter flakes create magic

I don’t know how it happened, how they locked me in this cage

They’re outside, chattering, while I’m stuck here, enraged

They’ve a warped sense of humor, I need time to figure this out

Somehow I have to open the door, I can’t just sit here and pout

Don’t worry, I won’t do that, I’m nothing like dogs, no way

I’m superiority at my very best, soon, I’ll make those birds pay

Three against one, a bit unfair, as in this cage, I ponder

All these hours, chatting away, is too much time to squander!

I have to stay alert, and wait, the timing must be right

A distraction would be helpful, I can’t stay in here, all night

Finally! They’ve stopped that noise, are they now asleep?

I’m trying to look around at them, I mustn’t make a peep

Looks like they’re dozing, sounds good, I think I will partake

Curling up in sweet silence…

Their squawking, gave me a headache!
