Life Lessons Poems

Elece Kunangura McKnight was born and grew up in Zimbabwe. She is the fourth daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Kunangura. Her mother died when Elece was only six years old, and she spent most of her youth in tears and prayer. Elece graduated from Chibuwe High School Zimbabwe in 1983 with dreams of becoming a missionary or a minister. In 1984 after many years of struggle and depression so overwhelming she contemplated suicide, she became involved and committed to the Unification Movement. Elece married American Robin Mcknight in 1989 and now lives with her husband and four daughters, Justice, Victorian, Cherish, and Su-Hyun in Tampa Bay Florida. Elece holds a B.A. In creative writing and a masters in Theology. She currently works as a teacher and has written two books of poetry, Into the Millennium Poems and Life Lessons Poems. She is the author of Rare Glimpses, a collection self-reflective thoughts about her life's journey. Elece is currently working on her autobiography and the struggles she faced growing up in Zimbabwe. The Author has walked a journey filled with death tears and loneliness, a youth of heartbreak and emotional turmoil, that left her with the hopelessness of adulthood in a war-torn country. Her path taught her the gift of hope and Life Lessons of Love. This book conveys the deep insights of spirituality and humor she used to help her through the seriousness of life around her. It takes you beyond today's everyday reality and transports you to the wonders of spiritual reflection on the origin and glory of God's creation. Each poem was written with inspiration from her often perilous yet always forward-looking journey through life.
