Ours Alone Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wanting to trust in God, there is no other with the heart
and love that He has, a perfect being and spirit, looking
into our hearts, minds and souls.

Knowing who we are, what we've done in our lives whether
we've followed the ten commandments or not, judging accord-
ingly at our deaths'.

Yet still having mercy for each individual child of His
created to have life, stripping away what is left, leaving
only our spirits.

Nothing can tear them from within our beings, they travel
willingly when death invites them, our souls remaining
pure and innocent in spite of what we humans do in life.

In life, a human touch portraying love, compassion, caring
that we each possess, leaving nothing to be unturned, always
reaching into our interior lives without reluctance.

Positive attitudes holding our faith in the palms of our
hands, no one able to stop it for it's a gift we have each
been given.

Cherishing and nourishing throughout our lives, nurturing
our souls, which in turn nurture us spiritually, special
graces and blessings, ours alone to treasure from God.
