Surrendering To Purpose Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Surrendering to the essence and purpose of life while
living with it's turmoil, suffering and death.

A little love, caring and compassion from others going
a long way to assuaging difficulties we each face.

Throughout these long and tiring days of life on earth,
reaching out to another often relieves the pressure
building inside of us.

As we go through the experience of living and existing
the best we can, giving of our hearts, souls and time,
putting self in the line of fire just by being here.

Hoping for the best, taking things as they come, whether
or not we want to, and in the end we find that everything
we've gone through has filled our beings.

Yet our souls are all that stay with us when we finally
die and live no more of our existence on this planet
earth.
