What gives a man the knowledge that he can have it all? What gives a man the knowledge that ‘united’ men stand tall? What gives a man the wisdom to seek a better way? What gives a man the courage to live in honesty each day? ……….Love.   What gives a man the right to think he is better than another? What gives a man the right to judge another on his colour?

Hope, Faith and Love

  “Hope My pessimistic friend says that I am a joke That I am too optimistic because I am called Hope. We were once ‘one’ before but he made a choice one day To remove me from his life, now he lives in a hope-less way. He blames me for the pain and misery he suffers from all the time. I have tried to tell him to change because his choices are his, not mine.   You see I am what is considered a good thing I have lost count of the many joys and anticipated blessings I bring. There are so many people that look forward to a brighter day So I am constantly called upon to show them the way. I work hand in hand with a wonderful loyal dedicated friend His name is Faith and he is strong, resilient and does not bend.   All good things come in threes so I am told That probably explains why we have a third partner who is so glorious and bold. He is the greatest of the three of us, full of passion and so strong There is nothing He cannot do, and when you repent He forgives your every wrong. His name is Love and He is truly the Great of great Our mission: I, Hope, have Faith and with Love, we operate.”   The poem Hope is taken from the novel ‘Despite All Odds: A Dream Fulfilled Part I’ published by GLL Publishing   Ebooks from GLL Publishing available at Amazon, Smashwords etc – Books also available via www.gllpublishing.com Despite all odds: A Dream Fulfilled Part 1...

GLL Publishing – Working Together to Prevent Suicide

Note from Author Taken from the novel – U Murder U (Suicide) Most people, like me, will know someone who committed suicide or know someone who knows someone. When I finished my MSc in Medical Microbiology at University, I got a job in a renowned London hospital’s Microbiology Laboratory, and it was there that I met him – my work mentor. He wasn’t that tall, was balding, of slight built and told me once that he bought some of his trousers in the children’s section of clothing shops. He took me under his wing and taught me the difference between studying Medical Microbiology and working in a laboratory and how to put my theory know-how, into practice. He used to wind me up by calling me ‘Gladiola’ instead of Gladys – he told me it was the name of a beautiful flower, and I believed him (we didn’t have the internet back then for me to check if it was true or not). I worked with him for nearly seven years; two of those years were spent on maternity leave having my children. When I went back to work each time he brought me up to speed and made sure that I was okay with all the new methods. The things I remember most are his willingness to always help me when I needed help at work, and how when we had a slight misunderstanding I would frown at him, he would frown in return, we’d smile, and things would go back to normal. Once, I found and identified a rare parasite in a patient’s sample and he confirmed...

Two Old African Proverbs: (1) A Child Belongs to Everyone (2) It Takes a Whole Village to Raise a Child

CHAPTER 11  Do people know the day on which they are going to die? Do they wake up in the morning with a heightened sense of impending doom? Do they feel different in some way from the many other days of their lives? Do they feel more alert and more aware or maybe less alert and less aware? Grandma Teresa awoke on the 7th of August and, like all the other days since her grandsons had come to live with her, she felt happy. She was a slight woman with frail bones, due not so much to old age as to a poor diet, accompanied by years of anorexia nervosa, when she was younger. She was what many would call a woman of lingering beauty. At fifty-nine she still looked ‘catwalk’ striking, yet gracefully fragile. What Grandma Teresa lacked in her physical body, she made up for in her strong will and determination to help people. Her life over the past fifty-nine years held painful and joyful memories. The death of two young children from drug and alcohol abuse and the incarceration of a third child were the cause of the many furrows on her face. This was closely followed by the squandering of her mass fortune by two of her five husbands and the death of her first husband, her first love, an honest, hard working man, whom she always regretted divorcing. She could hear her grandsons and their friends talking in the adjacent room and smiled. Not only did she enjoy their company, for the first time in a long while she had people that took care...
