Preparing Ourselves Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Rising every morning, eyes opening, minds awakening,
we know not the reasons why, we just keep doing it
silently and automatically.

With the breaking of each and every day, we find a
new light is shining, there are things we must do
and learn.

A challenging life, always at hand, yet some cannot
handle it and fall by the wayside, alone and feeling
forsaken.

When all they had to do was look into their souls to
find the answer, that's why an interior life is so
important to all of humanity.

We must all find and develop our souls in this way,
preparing ourselves to live life to the fullest,
given energy and being ready at a moments notice for
death to take us from this earth.
