This Lonely Life Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Being a mere poet with a simple heart and sincere
devotion to God, allowing self to be an instrument
of His love.

Writing poetry, composing music, painting portraits,
using the gifts He has given to me totally and so
completely throughout this lonely life.

Filled with poverty and suffering, living it joy-
fully in spite of it all, taking it in stride every
step of the way.

Knowing that the peace and serenity I feel within is
because God is always present in an interior life
where I constantly go to find solace, peace, His
goodness and mercy towards me in this earthly life.
