I was born in Douglasville Ga I have 4 siblings older than me
I was brought up by loving parents, who instilled in me strong values, beliefs & work ethics
I grew up in Southern Maryland area
I began writing poetry in the 10th grade
I wrote little verses but never kept them
After school I began writing poems again
My writing accelerated when my youngest girl and only son became ill
They both had meningitis and my son died from the disease
My daughter survived and is doing well today
Over the years I have been through many struggles
I’ve endured things most people wouldn’t be able to handleI
I learned to be a survivor through faith, love and refusing to quit
I thought I’d share my poems with others
So they can get some idea what I’ve experienced in my life
I hope you will gain perspective and understanding from my writings
