A Bit of Grit
A mighty force blows within
Bestows within
A Gift
Within this Gift a bit of grit
From which to build the
Gift of Life
A sprinkling of laughter, a thin
Veil of tears, a blanket of Love,
The music one hears, our hopes,
Our dreams, our fears – the
Ones we hold dear.
Layer upon layer does gradually
Build.
A power of reckoning from which
One can will…That Love and
Peace and Joy to Abide
All from the Gift of the grit inside.

Great poem Roseanna...Thank you for sharing it with us.

I found this poem to have great sensitivity, deep insight and profound meaning, which to me indicates that the author, Ms. Roseanna Walters, has a unique and probing soul, one that relies not on the outward symbols of our earthly existence for proof of validity, but on the deeper and more subtle tones of the inner, gentler and wiser vibrations that we, as spiritual beings, all have within our very fiber and spirit. This poem, therefore, gives me hope that one day, we too can all achieve the same level of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. Thank you Roseanna, for sharing these words with the world.
