MY BIRTHDAY TODAY, ON FIRST DECEMBER
This morning dawns with golden light,
A gift of years, a soul in flight.
The candles glow, the voices sing,
A day of love, new joys to bring.
On my birthday today, I count my many blessings,
I am alive and still around to share my appreciation.
To all the members of this group, I am very grateful,
That you are part of my literary and poetic world.
For my family, loved ones, and friends, I‘m grateful to
God.
Life is beautiful when there is love all around.
So let the music of the heart resound,
In every verse, true joy is found.

I wrote my third screenplay based on my romance novel A GIFT OF LOVE.
THE GIFT OF LOVE
The Gift of Love is a story about the power of love and the strength of the human spirit. Crystal’s journey is one of heartbreak, betrayal, and redemption as she navigates the complexities of family loyalty, societal expectations, and her own desires. From the suspenseful moments of a life-threatening cave exploration to the tender reunion of a mother and her kidnapped daughter, this romance story is a rollercoaster of emotions that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
Set on a picturesque Caribbean island, the story is brought
to life with vivid imagery and compelling characters. Barry Holmes, the
dashing hero, embodies courage and determination, while Crystal’s unwavering
love for her daughter and her fight for justice showcase her resilience. The
twists and turns of the plot, including conspiracies, betrayals, and a
heartwarming conclusion, make this story a gripping read.
Brenda Mohammed masterfully weaves themes of love,
sacrifice, and hope into a narrative that resonates deeply with readers. The
Gift of Love is not just a romance or a mystery—it is a celebration of the
enduring power of love to overcome even the darkest of circumstances.
As you delve into this story, prepare to be moved, inspired, and reminded that love, in its truest form, is the greatest gift of all.
The book is available on Amazon in Kindle, Paperback, and Audiobook formats.
