Blessed Floods

Daphne was born in British Guyana in the year 1938 where the blimp would drop food during the war years for the residents. Those were the days when children were told to be seen and not heard. She learned to keep her own company with pen, paper, cloth, needle and thread making clothes for her wooden doll. After the fire and racial discrimination in Guyana, she migrated to Trinidad in search of a better life. Daphne, at the age of 22 years old had three children ( one girl and two boys) with no self esteem. She got married to a photographer and three more children were added to her brood. After graduation at the age of sixty years Daphne was tired of the pace in New York and the long winter when she accepted an offer to relocate in North Carolina (1999). She was a resident in Jacksonville and was introduced to the Potpouri Writers Group where some of her thoughts and feelings were recorded on paper. Her hobbies are sewing, reading, knitting, music and writing which will always be a nutrient to her well being with God’s help. Some of her poems were published in the Onslow Record. (Don’t give up, and What I want for Christmas) we’re chosen for publication and the MILLENNIUM won a third place in the competition for 2000.
