My mother was born in Edinburgh Scotland. Mum came to New Zealand when she was 2 years old. I am the eldest child born from their union. I started writing Poetry about 40 years ago. The first poem I wrote was "The ranks within". My writing was intermittent, maybe 1 poem every 5 years. One of the schools I went to had a school motto "Perseverence gains Honour". I have always kept this as one of my codes to live by. My husband baptised me a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints in 1973, and another period of learning began from that day forth. My faith has always been my strength. A poet is an observer, and so it is I am an observer, trying to convey to the reader what I see or feel. I am grateful to Heavenly Father for the many gifts He has given me, especially my talents in my hands. My Maori poems are who I am, please enjoy my poems, and I hope you will find my peace.view less
