Holding Onto Inner Purposes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Racing against time, never letting go of our inner purposes
as we live through daily strife and turmoil that all of life
heaps upon us daily.

Looking to others for some understanding at times, talking
and trying to communicate our feelings and emotions.

At times succeeding, then at others failing miserably, moving
forward, driving inner forces into tomorrow's hours, without
stopping to worry or care about mundane things.

Just holding onto important parts of life, like family, love
and friends, never losing sight of any of it, or having to
lose sight of who we are.

Constantly touching our minds, beauty of our souls showing
others a love of God inside each of us in turn, responding
to one another, being held closely, pairing us together
helping one another through life.
