My poems are my My Kit of Knowledge, they were written over a period of 40 years. I would write a lot because words were always swirling around in my head. My lack of education hampered me. I didn't have much faith in my abilities. Then I remembered my old school motto PERSEVERENCE GAINS HONOR', and no matter what, I persevered. In August 2012 a feeling came over me, that I needed to share my poems, that it was my time to fly. I contacted Xlibris they became my launching pad. Xlibris is helping me to fly. My gratitude to them. I am a mother of 5 children, 2 daughters, and 3 sons. My eldest child a son has passed away. I have 10 mokopuna (grandchildren). I am in all of my poems, my children and mokopuna will have a lot of years to discover me. Have faith in your own ability to even achieve the impossible. Arohanui (big love ) Kate
