Candle Of Faith Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Heaven opening up, light shining, telling me that soon
I will be returning, as life comes into it's ending.

Feeling the sadness of leaving loved ones behind again,
tears filling my eyes, yet knowing all along where I
would be going when my purpose was finally fulfilled
on earth.

Taking every step towards destiny, holding fate through-
out this life, rising, meeting our Lord, the final out-
come of having lived life in the best way I could, never
hurting others, having no regrets.

Living a simple life of prayer and faith that always
kept the candle of hope lit within me.
