Produktbeschreibung

This book of poems is a healing process for me. Living through many losses, my father died before I was two years old, my mom just after I migrated to the USA (I did not attend her funeral because of culture shock and fear of the unknown), and my only son on the night of December 25, 2006. At the age of sixty-six, of course, there are many other losses. Early retirement is a loss of not much outside connections, but I have a choice: to enter the room of suffering and mourning or to enter the room of happiness, choose life, and be happy. Turn my lemons into lemonade. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Finding the courage and the strength to greet each day with daily exercise, eating the right foods, drinking plenty of water, not worrying, and feeding on the Word of God. Happiness is sure to become a way of life.

Autorenporträt

I am June M. Davis, unmarried and retired. My age is sixty-six years old. I migrated from Jamaica, West Indies, in the year 1977 to the USA as a registered nurse. Education I am a college graduate with a bachelor's degree in health-care management and an incomplete master's degree in midwifery. Occupation As an RN, I worked at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in West Los Angeles from October 1979 to June 2012. I also worked through the nurse's registry at various hospitals like Daniel Freeman Hospital from 1981 to 1996. I did some real estate buying, selling, and managing duplexes and triplexes from 1987 to 2009. Family Sad to say that I do have lots of blood family members, but the relationship is almost nonexistent. My only child, my son, was very gifted and talented in music. He sang and played the piano and the trumpet, even in event performances. He was a competitive winner in breaststroke swimming and played well in ball games when they threw him the ball. He attended college at the age of sixteen years old and died at the age of eighteen years old, as such is the law of a single-parent family without any form of support. It takes a village to raise a child. Social I play the piano very well, sing very well, and love to dance and recite poetry very well. I can be funny. I call myself a comedian. Religion I am a Christian. I will preach if you let me say the spoken Word, especially the Psalms. In all, I love the Word. It keeps me safe and gives me sanity.
