Lilo Groenberg Poet Terza Rima

Live, Love, Pray

Live, Love, Pray

Hello me! 
Who am I and what am I about?
I think I have all the answers,
I believe that, without a doubt.

Really? 
Do I live life to the fullest every day?
Do I give and receive love?
Do I take time to pray?

I am not sure! 
I must strive to nourish my heart and soul,
A state of being that is true and pure!

True to myself and others too.
Caring for and tending to those that I love,
Seeking enlightenment, understanding, praying anew.

Only then will I know the true meaning of life.
To live, love and pray is the answer I seek,
To cast aside doubt, turmoil and strife.

Ayesha Karim September 15, 2013 at 11:27 AM I can relate to what you're talking about. I know myself better than anyone else does. I love the questions you came up with. Being true to yourself and others is when you know you're a great person, friend, daughter...mother someday? Who knows!

I am a mother of two adult children and grandmother to two wonderful grandkids, whom I love unconditionally.
