looks and appearances
are not what
they seem in
real life, struggle
hit the pavement
running, fall, abrasions
abrasions lasting days
it seems no
dream too big
too great to
catch and win
up, up, away
we go chasing
running, gliding, sprinting
towards what will
make that dream
happen, past appearances
and looks chit
chat and all
that in the
end-when we
reach Heaven’s gates
its not our
mistakes;its what
we ran for
went for, stood
for, believed in
and was driven
toward; it was
it will be
our actions, words
unspoken or spoken
a plight for
helping not just
ourselves but others
in the end
the very end
friends that is
where we stand
amongst a limited
shelf life; expiration
is today unknown.

Biography of Meg Collins:

I began my journey as a writer approximately ten years ago at an Open Mic forum at Barnes and Noble. I became an advocate for cancer research when my Mother was diagnosed with lung cancer. I started writing my novel that month. It is now forty chapters and under editorial review with Leonard Greenberg. I showed my Mother my novel before her death. Her breakfast went cold that morning, and in my family, breakfast never went cold. My Mother did not say a word for fifteen minutes; engrossed in my work. When my Mother finally looked up at me, she stated, “I cannot believe how well written it is, Meg.” Before my Mother passed away, she told a family friend, “Make sure she keeps writing.” She gave me her blessing and knew I was born to be a dedicated writer. Since my Mother’s passing, I have had seven cancers in my family. I begin my volunteer work with my books in a local hospital, as a mentor, to aid sick children, in January 2011-2013.

My recent books:
Twinkle, Twinkle Starry Sky
My Magnum Opus

Upcoming books in 2011:
My eight book Arctic Series currently titled, "Rompy's Adventures.” This is about a polar bear and his journeys with arctic animals-the penguins, the snowy owl, the wise walrus, the snappy shark, the sled dogs, and many more arctic animals! My illustrator is Lorna Mack.

Mamada- A story of a beautiful child with many questions. She is being raised by her Mother. Her Father has never seen her. She looks up one day and asks, “Where is my Daddy?” A heartfelt story that captures the spirit of a parent playing two roles, both Mother and Father in one home. Hence, I titled the book, “Mamada,” meaning both Mother and Father. The child finds out how lucky she is, just to have one person who loves her to the moon and back. The moral is this-all you need is one person to love you, heart, mind, spirit, and soul in life.

I Painted in the Dark-A story of a five year old boy who paints in the dark. Is it a dream, or did he actually make a huge mess in his bedroom? The story unfolds in the book.

Her Road to Success-A story of a corporate business woman and her struggles to excel in the business industry, while being in a relationship with a man. She is tormented by her past, putting all her energy into her work. Beth, not remotely aware of what she is scarred by in her life, she emerges to find out who she really is and unravels the mysteries of her past.

A Co-Written book with Dr. Win Wenger on Effective Listening and the proper techniques and tools to use in a multitude of life situations.
