Wedding Day
She puts on
her white dress.
She slips on
her red heels.
She takes the quivering hand
of her father,
steps out of the alcove
and down the aisle,
with her head held high
as her unexpected burden
bounces in time
to her steps.

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
