    Kate Reynolds

    Kate Reynolds (Spillane-Weller) began a love affair with writing many years ago with enigmatic poetry and journalism in her high school years at Mt. St. Mary’s Academy in N. Plainfield, New Jersey. After graduating with a B.A. in English from Chestnut Hill College outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1969, she worked for several years in television production in Manhattan with CBS, CBS Enterprises, which became Viacom, The Dick Cavett Show, Jack Parr Productions, and Marlo Thomas while filming her television special, Free to be You and Me. Life continued to churn as she married, travelled often to Europe with her successful yacht broker husband, John Weller and daughter Clancy, and then did the most important “job” of her life ~ raised her wonderful daughter. Her writing muse lay dormant, but her creativity did not. She kept active with many creative outlets – namely a shell/ribbon jewelry making company – CordonKate – which she dearly loved doing while recovering from a lengthy multiple back fusions surgery. Please visit her website: www.CordonKate.com. Her first book, Memoirs from Moe, was a surprise gift to her daughter on her twenty-first birthday. It is lush with over a hundred pictures that Kate took herself of their beautiful calico Maine Coon cat named Moe. Moe, the cat that became a “ham”, graciously adopted the author's human family. There are over 130 memorable captioned photos that comprise this delightful book. After separating from her husband in 2007, Kate bought her first puppy since childhood and named her “Dr. Sam” for the late Dr. Samuel T. Hassenbusch, III, head brain surgeon at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Her second book, The Time Marches on Dog Book, was inspired by this adorable pup. The book is a romp through an alternate canine universe where no human activity is not fully adaptable to the daily shenanigans of her rambunctious Miniature French Poodle puppy – usually accompanied by uproarious humor and wit. It is a book primarily intended for adults, with special interest for children. Although the book focuses on humor, it is tempered by the reality of owning and being owned by a pet. The photos included with the narrative will put, with grace, a smile on your face. Dr. Sam marries Bingo, the handsome Havanese, at the end of this book. The proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to cancer research. Their story continues in a very different sequel, The Family Portrait Album of Dr. Sam and Bingo. There are over 70 creative photographs in this book that chronicle the wedding, honeymoon, relatives, childhood, friends, career, vacations and holidays of Dr. Sam and Bingo. The conclusion of this tale is sad, with Bingo disappearing at sea to make way for Kate's move to Palm City, Florida. Please see her website that includes a two minute YouTube video in which Dr. Sam plays her miniature Steinwayesque piano at: www.Pethumorbooks.com. The next book in the "Dr. Sam series", Dr. Sam the Snowbird Dog Does Montebello, is soon to be published. She is presently working on a musical comedy screenplay titled “DOGZ.” Her book of humorous and heartbreaking poetry, 2 Minute Loves Poems Poured from the Soul, is forthcoming.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Special Thanks

      With very special thanks to my fiancé Chad Redick who encouraged me throughout the publishing process, as well as edited this poetry book. Also to Keith, my former man friend, who always liked my poetry. Many of these love poems were written for him. Keith also drew the sketch for the book’s poem, Sam’s Haircut – by Owner and had the concept for the cover of this book.

      I’d also like to express my gratitude to my family and friends – many of whom are written about in this poetry book. I couldn’t forget dear Dr. Sam, my female Miniature French Poodle who was always there to give me a good licking whether or not I needed it!

      Additional special thanks goes to my friend and artist – Mallo Bisset – for her beautiful sketches throughout these pages.

      Of course, I couldn’t fail to remember to thank our almighty creator and creative inspiration from above.

      Love you all!

      Forever

      Forever will I stay

      As long as you desire

      Like a candle in the wind

      We’ll keep our love on fire.

      Forever will I stay

      With you, luv, till tomorrow

      Forever will I stay

      You take away all sorrow.

      For you alone, dear one,

      Have taught me how to love

      For you alone, dear one,

      Were sent here from above.

      Always

      I’ll always be there beside you

      Till the ends of the earth do fall

      And break into 1,000 pieces

      I’ll try to be at your beck and call

      Till the heavens close down

      And the winds do stop their breezes.

      I’ll always be there to kiss you

      And to rub your back when it needs it

      I’ll always be there to hug you

      And love you all to pieces.

      Till all of the earth shuts down

      And all of life does cease

      Our love will go on and on

      Its powers never decrease.

      Hold my love close – hold my love fast

      For fleeting are the nights and days

      But eternity goes on for those who love

      And forever more it shall stay – always!

      In Church

      In church on Christmas Day

      We found each other, true

      With God’s blessing from above -

      We’ll remain bound, me and you -

      We are blessed that we both are

      Healthy, strong and totally free

      With good guidance from above

      We’ll be together – you and me

      In God’s hands may we always stay

      Not waiver, fall or stray

      May we always be in love

      And go in the end to up above!

      The Ring

      Your wedding ring was off

      One week before we met

      Our love, therefore,

      Was truly heaven sent

      With each day that passes

      Our love grows more and more

      For all of our eternity

      We will cherish love therefore

      My God, how very blessed

      That God sent you to me

      I will cherish deeply that love

      Throughout all eternity!

      Now in the quiet of the night

      I’m lonely as one can be

      May God speed you safely home

      And bring you swiftly back to me

      My Prayer

      My prayer is that you’ll love me, dear

      And
