Holding Onto Life Itself Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Holding onto life itself as if it's a lifeline that we cannot
do without, yet if we thought about it, we'd spend our lives
giving from our hearts and never counting the cost.

Never expecting anything in return, a lifetime of service we
give to others in turn, as we live and experience our own
turmoil and sacrifices.

Never neglecting our individual duty while alive, trusting
in the Lord for the answers to all mysteries of life and the
promises they've been keeping hidden since we were born.
