My Cry in Prayer

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

I have had a long- time dream to get my collection of poetry and essays published so I can leave my family a legacy, besides something tangible that they can remember me by. I have been writing and composing poetry in my mind since I was a young child. Memorization was not burdensome for me. As I grew older the necessity to extend my imagination, as well as to initiate my creativity became important and compelling to me. I thought it might be appropriate at this stage to start writing thoughts down and I did. I have lived in several countries and environments around the world, and have always believed that through my artwork coupled with my writings, I would be separated from others. My stubborn persistence, dwelling on perfection, was a forceful drive that compelled me to strive for more, even to be 'bigger and better,' than I ever thought I could be. If nothing else, I sincerely hope this book will inspire others, who may be in darkness and hesitant to share their innermost feelings and life experiences with others. It is not easy to trust and release our own psychological makeup. Most of us carry burdens, coupled with our individual hurts and our anguish amongst others. But sharing our innermost feelings will hopefully both inspire and teach us to grow stronger, not only in our own self-belief, but in that of others. This is my desire anyway. Always believe in yourself and your own capabilities. Let inspiration be your light! May God bless you all.

I am one of four children. I was born at home 163 Bellenden Road, Peckham Rye, London, S.E.15. My brother Christopher was born 2 years after me. We moved North of the Thames to an area called Bow, s located in the East End of London. My father was the School Keeper at St Paul's Way School, Bow Common Lane, London, E.3. My father stayed in this job until he and my mother retired.I left England in February 1972 and went to live and work in Greece which is in the Aegean. I stayed in a hotel in Athens and spent most of my time looking for a job. I found a job the very day my ticket expired. My job was located in Piraeus but I lived in Athens. I travelled on the train every day which people called the "Cattle Car".I stayed in Greece for 3 ¿ years. I met my husband whilst living in Athens. He worked for the American Embassy in Athens, Greece. We both left Greece in August of 1975 and relocated to Washington, D.C. We married the following year in 1976 in Virginia. My husband's job required him to travel and we moved from Virginia to Bakersfield , California in 1977. We stayed in Bakersfield until March of 1980 when I received my Citizenship in Los Angeles, California. My husband had been relocated to the Philippines. We began our stay in the Philippines on Clark Air Base and ended our tour of the Philippines at Wallace Air Station, San Fernando, La Union, Philippines.From the Philippines we were stationed to Colombo, Sri Lanka. We stayed in Sri Lanka for over three and a half years and then we came back to Washington, D.C. We left the states in February 1992 and went to Udorn Thani, Thailand. After our tour in Thailand, we returned to the U.S., and we purchased our first house in Virginia.We remained in Virginia for the next 24 years. I worked continuously for 24 years in different jobs located in different areas of Washington, D.C., and Virginia. I finally retired in August of 2018. We sold our house in Northern Virginia and retired to Summerville, S.C., where I am still in residence. My husband died earlier this summer and I am now a Widow. I am seriously considering relocating before the summer of 2022.
