The author took the cover photograph of the sun. This collection of poetry has been part of my life. I have always written things down that God has spoken over the years. Awaken early one morning, the Holy Father revealed my poetry collection as part of my writing ministry. God has used me as his vessel in many miracles over the years. I talked about some of them in my other book. God said, "Preach and teach the Word, and you will blossom beautifully like your Pear Trees outside," was the command spoken to me by God in 2009. Years prior, I had been doing this unaware of my calling. Now, I had a holy calling on my life to have compassion for God's chosen people, help heal their lives, help them discover the best in themselves, and help lead them to their purpose and mission in life so that they may prosper. 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 spoken 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 by all the books there. I said, "I am going to read all of them." Each 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, they gave away the library books at a PTA meeting. 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 obtained my High School Equivalency Diploma. I earned my associate degree in Microcomputer Technology and Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies concentration in General Business, Business Technology, and Apparels Textiles & Merchandising. I pursued my Master of Public Policy & Administration degree, all while taking care of my special needs child and battling many trials, tribulations, and triumphs as a divorcee of three children. My inspiration for Linda Kay's Book of Poetry came from my daughter's Epilepsy Journey, my experiences in Mississippi, and my focus on seeing life in others in Mississippi. The Glory goes to God.
