Staircase Of Maturity Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Predicaments of others touch our hearts and lives,
becoming the altering events on our own pathways
to aging maturity.

Softly, whisperingly, God leads us into another's
life and circumstances, giving us the opportunity
to help him with work on earth while we are here
enjoying His love and mercy.

All of us are here to stay in reality's thoroughway,
free to do our Lord's bidding, as we climb our own
staircases of maturity.
