Interiorly Focused Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living life, satisfying needs that are healthy most of the
time, fulfilling desires as they come along, living life,
not being obligated to anyone else.

Thoughts or opinions on what we should or shouldn't be
doing, strengthening our faith, giving hope a place within
each of us.

Having well-being and a self-confidence born from suffering,
hardships and loss, standards of morals and ethics bringing
peace and serenity to our souls.

As we wend our way towards God in the end, rational, respon-
sible and centered, focused interiorly through contemplation
and a separate way of life and living.
