Linda Kay's Book of Poetry

The author captured the front and back cover picture of the sun. As a young child, I was bold and tenacious; I held a tight hold to my dreams while looking up into the clouds one day, I said, "I will attend a major university, I will be an author, and all my dreams will come true." The children and adults chuckled at my words. I started writing to become an author when I was directed to my elementary school library by my teacher. As I approached the library, I was overwhelmed at all the books that were in there. I said, "I am going to read all of them." Every day I would check out several books. One day the Librarian said, "You will be an author one day." I smiled and said, "Yes, I will." I read every book in that library and left proof by making sure that I signed each book. Years later, I was at a PTA meeting, and they were giving away the library books. My nieces and nephews came up to me and said, "Auntie Linda, your name is in all of these books." I said, "Yes, they are." I was so happy that I had left my signature in all those books. I worked hard to obtained my High School Equivalency Diploma, earned my Associate degree in Microcomputer Technology from EMCC, a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with emphasis in General Business, Business Technology, and Apparels Textiles & Merchandising, and pursued my Master of Public Policy & Administration degree from MSU all while taken care of my special needs child and battling many trials, tribulations, and triumphs. I am a work in progress. This book was inspired from my daughter Epilepsy Journey. The Glory goes to God.
