Author: Pat Fitzgerald

I was born and spent my younger years in a small town between the boundaries of County Cork and County Limerick. The Little Town Of Charleville has a special place in my heart and one I always will call home. I have lived on the western edge of Cork City in the south of this country since 1988. Although I am a country boy at heart , needs were that living where I still reside was the most important. I have been blessed in my life with 4 Children, the youngest of whom passed away in 2001 at age of 5 years. And the others walk this life in their own areas. I believe that Our paths in Life dictate much in our future and our walk in life. But we make our own path in life by the choices we make each day, either for good or bad. My Faith is most important to me in my life. It is my Faith that keeps me going both in times of need and in the good times. I am a Christian (non denominational). I am a poet and consider it to be a learning process as I continue to learn and write. I also Poetry use as a means to clear my mind. Photography is more of a hobby and pastime which I enjoy and find it fun to learn a little more in this field.
