Stemming From Love Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Rejoicing in the freedom of liberty here in the United
States, loving the existence it allows every one to enjoy.

Choices being made, livelihoods giving us a way to live
and take care of our families, always having something to
give to those in need.

Having been raised to always put an extra plate on our
table in case someone needed a meal, door always open to
those more unfortunate than us.

Welcoming them like a member of our family into the fold,
laughing, enjoying their company and not letting them feel
as if they were a burden.

A joy stemming from love we held in our unconditional
hearts, loving our neighbors as ourselves.

Isn't it amazing how those who have nothing themselves,
share what they have and others who have lots of money,
can't spare a dime to help anyone.
