"The Trained Dove"

Reign is what used to be;
Given, a bird to let roam the earth,
And considerable masters they call thee,
Their seraphim eyes to be blessed with hearth

Then they turn and find themselves alone,
Forcing troubles to give way;
And adding too many of the unknown,
Making their existence unhappy.

Thoughtless wings and heavy hearts
They fly with less dignity,
Becoming masters of their own;
Breaking the malicious iteracy,

And flying becomes a way of time
And being enabled with their minds,
And winning reign of the unknown,
Sets their gracious flight back home.

Born in Duluth, Minnesota, and raised in upstate New York, I have always adored writing and have been doing so for many years. Also, I am interested in crafts and paintings and currently I go to school to become an RN. My writing has not yet won me the option to be a successful author but, all in due time. It is a given gift of mine to be patient and wait for great things to come. In the mean time, I plan my life to meet the needs of my family.
I married Jeffrey Wayne Houghton on October 22, 1999 and not only does he encourage me to give my all, but also he has given me three beautiful children; Alyssa Renee`, Nicholas Cole and Grace Ann. They are my family, my life, and my inspiration. I encourage them to reach their goals; for one day they will succeed with them.
