Life will not allow you live it without having people to build the stairs for you to courageously climb. Growing up, I have had many reasons to appreciate the existence of people as catalysts to speed you up while aiming to fulfill destiny. Realistically, I have also greatly suffered psychologically due to the indifference and negligence received from people I least expect ( not even a family name to consider).
Out of the blue she came extending hands of love,support and comfort that first scared me not to death but to unbelief! Never knew love so real could be emitted from someone who I couldn't see off my phone screen.
Hope jerked back to live, faith was empowered, courage raged as she showered me with love and attention a mother would give to a child.
The Light Bearer(my poetry collection) is an offspring of the relationship I had with her. Believing in me, she tore away the leaves of impossibility from the tree of greatness; she ridiculed normality by encouraging me to type the poems to be published as a book on my mobile phone since I had no computer to work with. I became industrious, she became the industry as she transformed my phone poetry to an enviable manuscript.Gloriously, the dreams were hatched, The Light Bearer was published!
I cannot possibly recount all the good seeds she has sown in my fertile heart,but few years to come you will all see the delightful fruits.
Today is her day, and my pen is drunk with inspiration to honor her beyond what limit could limit. Catherine Mahoney is the angel whom I talk about...
Living is helping
Helping is living
Living is loving
Loving is living.
Flourish with no hitch
If I be a palm tree
Do not I have one
who shined and rained
just to have me attain a height
that retains greatness?
What significance has her birth?
Steal a look at me
And nod convincingly like an agama
Aren't I a ray of rays of her light
Happy, happy is this day truly
Happy is my soul
That eternally longs for hers
Happy is humanity
She has given posterity future
Let future come
You will know what I speak of.
A day comes when my gratefulness will arrest her kindness,her selflessness and her loveliness.
Happy Birthday, Catherine Mahoney..
Angels rejoice in heaven,
Lend them your voice!
