Turning Poverty Away Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Destined for fame in literature, based on what others
say, not myself at all, only writing for one purpose,
well two, I guess.

Loving to write poetry about any and everything and
writing it for others to possibly find something with-
in it to inspire and maybe help them change their lives.

Having grown up poor, what need do I have for money, if
it comes I will give it to those who need it to help them
live a better life than I had.

In turn, having them pay it forward, in this way poverty
can be turned away from our world due to the kindness and
generosity of those who have compassion and love for all
of humanity.
