Life Is What You Put Into It Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Feeling a sense of quiet bravery within for having lived
through horrendous circumstances in life, having found
courage somehow to get though difficulties.

Living on it's edges, looking in with an expectancy of
ending, yet that never happened, instead finding answers
to keep going and staying alive.

Helping others and forgetting about self, a releasing of
my spirit that helped me to find purpose and meaning in
life.

Knowing that life is only what you put into it's essence,
circumstances, situations and experiences, as long as love
exists within one's heart that's all we ever need to meet
one another in peace, bringing serenity needed in our world.
